The Crab Nebula
The Crab Nebula is located within the constellation of Taurus, the Bull. The chose this picture (for the second time I think) because this week we studied this constellation and The Crab Nebula was one of its M objects, more specifically M1. I got to study this nebula a little bit more because the astronomer I had for my quarter project actually discovered and cataloged it. This is also my favorite celestial object because of how spectacular it is to observe, and this picture from the Hubble definitely does it justice.
