The Crab Nebula

The Crab Nebula is an amazing object.
The remnant of a supernova, it is the first such confirmed. It is also one of the first known pulsars identified.

Not only a favorite object for professional and amateur astronomers alike, it has proven an invaluable help in solar system astronomy as well. Helping determining atmospheric density and thickness for several planetary moons.

This video was made to help educate and inspire people to look at the night sky. It's full of wonders beyond the imagination of man. It is truely an awe inspiring sight. Even more so, if you know what you're looking at.

This is my first ever video of any kind. I expect to share much more, concentrating on the perspective of the amateur astronomer.

Clear skies everyone!
Remember to look up.

That was so cool! Dude, I got major knowledge out of that! I am doing a project on nebulae and I needed a video of a supernova, but this is WAY better!
