Hāʻawi ka US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) i kahi nānā ʻē aʻe i ke kiʻi hiʻohiʻona nani o ka Crab Nebula, aia ma ka pūʻulu hōkū ʻo Taurus.
Aia ka mea i kapa ʻia ma kahi o 6500 mau makahiki māmā mai iā mākou. ʻO ka nebula ke koena o kahi supernova, ʻo ia ka pahū ʻana, e like me nā moʻolelo o nā ʻike hōkū Arab a me Kina, ua ʻike ʻia ma Iulai 4, 1054.
Ua kiʻi ʻia ke kiʻi composite i hōʻike ʻia ma 2018 me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻikepili mai ka Chandra X-ray Observatory, ka Spitzer Space Telescope a me ka NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope). I kēia lā, hoʻokuʻu hou ʻo NASA i kahi kiʻi kupanaha e hoʻomanaʻo nei i nā haʻawina ʻepekema nui i hana ʻia e kēia mau mea ʻekolu. Ma ke ala, ua hoʻolauleʻa ʻo Hubble i kāna makahiki kanakolu.
Hoʻohui ke kiʻi hoʻohui i ka ʻikepili X-ray (keʻokeʻo a me ka uliuli), infrared (ʻulaʻula), a me ka ʻike (magenta).
Hoʻohui mākou he 11 mau makahiki māmā ke anawaena o ka Crab Nebula a ke hoʻonui nei i ka wikiwiki ma kahi o 1500 mau kilomita i kekona. Aia ma ke kikowaena ka pulsar PSR B0531+21, ma kahi o 25 km ka nui.
