A new analysis from NASA using the Hubble Space Telescope shows that the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova recorded in 1054, is still rapidly expanding, offering rare, direct evidence that the ...

New Hubble images show the Crab Nebula is still expanding and evolving nearly 1,000 years after its original supernova explosion.

Nearly a millennium ago, astronomers witnessed a brilliant new star blazing in the sky—a supernova so bright it was visible ...

The new image captured by Hubble observes the nebula’s intricate filamentary structure.

A quarter-century after first observing the full Crab Nebula, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has taken a fresh look at the expanding remains of the long-dead star. The new image, published in The ...

Nearly a millennium ago, scientists observed a magnificent new star blazing in the sky, a supernova so intense that it could be seen in daytime for weeks.

By comparing new Hubble observations with images first taken in 1999, astronomers traced the continuing expansion of one of the sky’s most studied supernova remnants, energized by a rapidly spinning ...
