Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Crab Pulsar is located near the centre of the Crab Nebula, i.e. the remnant of the supernova that exploded in AD 1054 in the constellation of Taurus. On this photo, the pulsar is seen as a 16th magnitude object; it is the lower right of the two stars of about equal brightness, near the centre of the field.

The photo was obtained through a narrow optical filtre in the light of doubly ionized oxygen atoms ([O III]) with the ESO 3.5-m New Technology Telescope (NTT) under good seeing conditions.
