M1 - Crab Nebula

Link: https://www.instagram.com/outtenastrophotography/

The Crab Nebula, also known as M1, is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula located in the constellation of Taurus. It is one of the brightest supernova remnants in the sky. The name "Crab Nebula" comes from a drawing that somewhat resembled a crab made by an astronomer.The Crab Nebula was formed from a supernova explosion that was observed nearly 1,000 years ago by Japanese and Chinese astronomers. It is an expanding remnant of a star's supernova explosion. The nebula is characterized by its intricate structure, with wave-like rings expanding outward from the pulsar at its center.The pulsar at the heart of the Crab Nebula is a rapidly rotating neutron star. It emits beams of radiation that sweep across the sky like a lighthouse, resulting in periodic pulses of radiation. This pulsar is one of the most studied objects in astronomy and has provided valuable insights into the nature of neutron stars.The Crab Nebula is a popular target for astronomers due to its proximity and its unique properties. It has been extensively studied across various wavelengths, from radio waves to X-rays. Observations of the Crab Nebula have contributed to our understanding of supernovae, neutron stars, and the processes involved in the formation and evolution of these cosmic phenomena.In summary, the Crab Nebula is a fascinating supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula located in the constellation of Taurus. Its intricate structure and the pulsar at its center make it a captivating object for astronomers to study and explore.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
