I-US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) inikeza okunye ukubukeka kwesithombe esiyinhlanganisela esihle ngokumangalisayo seCrab Nebula, esitholakala emlaza iTaurus.
Into eqanjwe igama itholakala ebangeni elingaba yiminyaka engama-6500 yokukhanya ukusuka kithi. I-nebula iyinsalela ye-supernova, ukuqhuma kwayo, ngokusho kwamarekhodi ezazi zezinkanyezi zama-Arabhu namaShayina, kwabonwa ngo-July 4, 1054.
Isithombe esiyinhlanganisela esiveziwe sitholwe ngo-2018 kusetshenziswa idatha evela ku-Chandra X-ray Observatory, iSpitzer Space Telescope kanye neNASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope). Namuhla, i-NASA isiphinda ikhipha isithombe esimangalisayo esisebenza njengesikhumbuzo seqhaza elikhulu lesayensi elenziwe yilawa mathuluzi amathathu. Phela, u-Hubble usanda kugubha iminyaka engamashumi amathathu.
Isithombe esiyinhlanganisela sihlanganisa i-X-ray (emhlophe nokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka), i-infrared (epinki), kanye nedatha ebonakalayo (ye-magenta).
Sengeza ukuthi i-Crab Nebula inobubanzi obungaba iminyaka engu-11 yokukhanya futhi ikhula ngesivinini esingamakhilomitha angu-1500 ngomzuzwana. Enkabeni kukhona i-pulsar PSR B0531+21, cishe u-25 km ngosayizi.
