The Crab Nebula
This picture shows a Hubble Space Telescope image of the inner parts of the Crab. The pulsar* itself is visible as the left of the pair of stars near the center of the frame.
________________________________
* pulsar: in astronomy, a neutron star that emits brief, sharp pulses of energy instead of the steady radiation associated with other natural sources.
