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.

✨ 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.
