M1 - The Crab Nebula

M1, The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova explosion in the constellation of Taurus.
The supernova explosion was observed from Earth in the year 1054 and documented by Chinese astronomers.
The nebula is about 6,500 light years away from Earth and is expanding at a rate of about 3.35 Million miles per hour, which is a rate fast enough for the expansion to be noticeable from Earth from one year to the next.
The Crab Pulsar, a neutron star lies at the center of the nebula. With a spin rate of over thirty times per second, it emits pulses of radiation from gamma rays to radio waves. The pulses propel the nearby gas to a speed greater than 10% of the speed of light.also
