Description

M1 aka the Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova observed by Chinese astronomers in the year 1054 and its expansion can be detected when comparing images taken several years apart. This image shows M1 in the emission lines of Hydrogen alpha (red channel), Sulphur (green) and Oxygen (blue). Taken together (and having cranked the saturation way up) this gives it a - to me at least - almost psychedelic appearance.
