A composite image of the Crab Nebula, showing its appearance in various wavelengths of light. The top left image shows the nebula in near ultraviolet light (NUV), the top right image shows the nebula in far ultraviolet light (FUV), the bottom left image shows the nebula in visible light (VIS), and the bottom right image shows the nebula in X-ray light. The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova that occurred in 1054 AD. In the center of the nebula is a pulsar, a rapidly spinning neutron star. The pulsar is emitting beams of particles and radiation, which are seen as a bright spot in the center of the nebula. The image highlights the diverse appearance of the Crab Nebula in different wavelengths of light, showcasing the wealth of information that can be gleaned by studying objects in space across the electromagnetic spectrum.

This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula is so energetic that it glows in every kind of light known. Shown above are images of the Crab Nebula from visible light to the X-ray band. NUV stands for "near ultraviolet" light, FUV means "far ultraviolet" light, and VIS means
