Crab Pulsar image

What a nice colored image again.

The Crab Pulsar. This image combines optical data from Hubble (in red) and X-ray images from Chandra X-ray Observatory (in blue).

And then you have to imagine there are historical records that people saw the actual explosion of the star which created this nebula and pulsar eventually in 1054 AD!
