Hubble Captures Crab Nebula’s Pulsar-Powered Expansion Over 25 Years
TL;DR Summary
Hubble Space Telescope returns to the Crab Nebula after 25 years, documenting its rapid expansion (about 5.5 million km/h) and the evolving filaments driven by a central pulsar wind and synchrotron radiation, not just shock waves. The 2024 observations deepen our understanding of this supernova remnant, with findings published in The Astrophysical Journal.
