A new image of the Crab Nebula supernova remnant taken using the Prime Focus Camera on the Subaru telescope highlights the beauty of stellar debris expanding away from the site of this ancient blast. The high-resolution image captures details of an elongated tendril of gas rushing out at roughly 1.500 kilometers per second. While the nebula has been observed many times using both ground- and space-based telescopes, the new image is giving astronomers another opportunity to study the mechanics of the expanding gas in much greater detail.
