BASIC INFO
The Crab Nebula is a well-known supernova remnant located in the constellation of Taurus, approximately 6,500 light-years away from Earth. It formed from the remnants of a supernova explosion observed in 1054 AD, which was recorded by ancient astronomers around the world. At the heart of the Crab Nebula lies a pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits beams of radiation observed as pulses.
