The Crab Nebula is an expanding remnant of a star’s supernova explosion! 💥 Located about 6,500 light-years away, the orange filaments are the tattered remains of the star and consist mostly of hydrogen. Like a lighthouse, the neutron star embedded at the nebula’s center produces twin beams of radiation. From Earth, it appears to pulse 30 times a second due to the neutron star’s rotation sweeping the beams across our line of sight. It has the mass equivalent of our Sun crammed into a rapidly spi

Unveiling the cosmos 🌌 The Veil Nebula is a spectacular supernova remnant (the "leftovers" from a star's explosive death!) that extends 110 light-years across. This Hubble image only covers a section that spans two light-years. The star that created this nebula was 20 times more massive than our Sun. The shockwaves and debris from the supernova resulted in this gorgeous, complex structure of glowing gas. Music credit: "Half Holy" by Steve Everitt [ PRS ] via Atmosphere Music Ltd. [ PRS ] and Un
