Cosmic Crab #Nebula
The Crab Pulsar, a rapidly spinning neutron star, anchors the Crab Nebula's stunning image combining optical and Chandra X-ray data. Celebrating Chandra's 15 years, the image shows the pulsar's energy powering nebular emissions, with visible jets and rings. The supernova that birthed the nebula was seen in 1054.
