Woah -- the Crab Nebula in X-ray from the #Chandra Observatory (purple image left) is wild!!

The multi-color image on the right shows the composite with x-ray, radio, infrared and optical.

The Spinning Pulsar of the Crab Nebula

At the core of the Crab Nebula lies a city-sized, magnetized neutron star spinning 30 times a second. Known as the Crab Pulsar, it is the bright spot in the center of the gaseous swirl at the nebula's core. About twelve light-years across, the spectacular picture frames the glowing gas, cavities and swirling filaments near the Crab Nebula's center.

Another comparison between the Odyssey Pro and the s50. Here is #M1 - #CrabNebula. Both images processed by the telescopes. I think the s50 image needed more time. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur #seestar #S50

✨ Neutron stars are tiny in size yet colossal in mass.

💥 Born from supernovae, they pack more than the Sun’s mass into a sphere only miles across.

🥄 A single teaspoon of their matter would weigh billions of tonnes, more than an entire mountain range.

🔭 From pulsars to the Crab Nebula, explore the densest matter in the universe.

💥 Neutron Stars: Cosmic Heavyweights That Defy Imagination

Explore neutron star density, supernova remnants, pulsars, and the Crab Nebula — and discover why these ultra‑dense objects outweigh our Sun.

Good Monday morning. Before heading off to another busy work week have some time for some observations. First up #M1 - #CrabNebula. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
