Supernova 1054: Neutron star and Crab nebula in photographs
NASA. LARGE FORMAT. DEEP SPACE. A photograph of the spectacular death of a star in the Taurus constellation was observed on Earth during the supernova of 1054 AD. Today, nearly a thousand years later, we see a super-dense object - called a neutron star - left behind by the explosion, spewing a blizzard of high-energy particles into the expanding debris field known as the Crab Nebula. Chandra's X-ray data provide important clues to the workings of this powerful cosmic "generator", producing energy at the rate of 100,000 suns. 2009.
