Hubble sends a detailed image of the Crab Nebula
This is an image of the Crab Nebula that looks like a giant mosaic made from Hubble telescope observations and accurately represents the rest of the cosmic material after an explosion of a supernova (giant star).
This supernova explosion was observed 10 centuries ago, in 1054 by Japanese and Chinese astronomers. Located in the constellation of Niu, this nebula has also attracted attention in some Native American peoples.
This phenomenon is four times more luminous than observing Venus, so much so that it can be seen during the day for 23 days and at night for more than 650 days. Later this nebula was discovered by British astronomer John Bevis in 1731.
The Crab Nebula with a diameter of about 6 light years continues to expand at a rate of about 10,000 kilometers per second.
The nebula's mind is a Pun-distant, a neutron star that turns around itself very quickly. This very dense star is often the result of a supernova explosion. This neutron star works in the center of the nebula similar to a generator, making it highly bright.
The yellow and light green structures are the rest of the star that contains hydrogen. Light blue colors emitted by electrons at the same speed as light along the lines of the magnetic field.
