APOD: 2011 December 25 - M1: The Crab Nebula from Hubble “This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova seen in 1054 AD, is filled with mysterious filaments. The filaments are not only tremendously complex, but appear to have less mass than expelled in the original supernova and a higher speed than expected from a free explosion.” “Image Credit: NASA, ESA, J.
