#JWST took some imagines of the Crab nebula. Rami Mandow founder of https://spaceaustralia.com/ did some processing of the data.
see those horizontal plane rings? - that’s caused by the pulsar’s magnetosphere and rotation. It dumps A LOT of energy into the surrounding nebula.
The pulsar itself is tiny, only ~20km across, but it illuminates its surroundings 33 times per second and we can see its effect 6523 light years away 🤯
