Bungwe la US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) likuperekanso chithunzithunzi chokongola chodabwitsa cha Crab Nebula, chomwe chili mu gulu la nyenyezi la Taurus.
Chinthu chotchedwa chinthu chili pafupi zaka 6500 kuwala kutali ndi ife. Nebula ndiye chotsalira cha supernova, kuphulika komwe, malinga ndi mbiri ya akatswiri a zakuthambo achiarabu ndi achi China, kunachitika pa July 4, 1054.
Chithunzi chophatikizidwa choperekedwacho chinapezedwa mu 2018 pogwiritsa ntchito deta kuchokera ku Chandra X-ray Observatory, Spitzer Space Telescope ndi NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope).

Mwa njira, Hubble posachedwapa adakondwerera zaka makumi atatu.
Chithunzi chophatikizika chimaphatikiza data ya X-ray (yoyera ndi yabuluu), infrared (pinki), ndi data yowoneka (magenta).
Tikuwonjezeranso kuti Crab Nebula ili ndi m'mimba mwake pafupifupi zaka 11 za kuwala ndipo ikukula pa liwiro la makilomita 1500 pa sekondi imodzi. Pakatikati ndi pulsar PSR B0531+21, pafupifupi 25 km mu kukula.
