Description

The well-known Crab Nebula (M-1 in Charles Messier's catalogue of "This Isn't A Comet!"), is easily seen with binoculars at the tip of one of Taurus's horns. This is what you get after 967 years of expansion following a super nova explosion. At the heart of this monstrous region lies the stellar remnant, a neutron star spinning at 30 revolutions per second.

Description: This is an experiment. I tried mapping my data to the Crab pulsar's spectral emission data - hit and miss. Possible return to the drawing board.
