The Crab Pulsar (PSR B0531+21 or Baade's Star) is a relatively young neutron star. The star is the central star in the Crab Nebula, a remnant of the supernova SN 1054, which was widely observed on Earth in the year 1054. [8] [9] [10] Discovered in 1968, the pulsar was the first to be connected with a supernova remnant. [11]

The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus.The common name comes from a drawing that somewhat resembled a crab with arms produced by William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, in 1842 or 1843 using a 36-inch (91 cm) telescope.

A ‘hauntingly beautiful’ image of horseshoe crab and a beached orca taking its final breaths were among the winning images of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2023 competition.
Every year, anything from dazzling meteor showers to bright, full moons reliably give stargazers plenty of reasons to regularly look up at the cosmos.. But in 2024, observers were treated to their ...
The Crab pulsar 33-millisecond pulse period was too short to be consistent with other proposed models for pulsar emission. Moreover, the Crab pulsar is so named because it is located at the center of the Crab Nebula, consistent with the 1933 prediction of Baade and Zwicky. [ 23 ]
This Crab-like pulsar was first discovered in X-rays in 1984 [4] and subsequently detected at radio wavelengths. [5] Astronomers initially attributed the glow to collisions of subatomic particles accelerated in the shock waves produced by supernova explosions, and it took more than six years of observations by Fermi's Large Area Telescope to detect gamma-ray pulsations from J0540-6919.
