That area right around the pulsar looks like an eye.

[blueunicorn6]

That’ll do.

It’s not often you can look at an astronomy picture and see exactly what’s going on.

That one was fun!

So was finding the Enterprise in the last one!

But, you didn’t find the cheeseburger.

[DannyTN]

I didn’t.

But I could see it after someone pointed it out.

[MtnClimber]

They are actually everywhere. There may not be anything else. Like a fundamental building burger.

[DannyTN]

Burger Theory is a lot more appetizing than String Theory.

Trying to post two more images of Crab, Visible Light Only, from Hubble:

Honestly, I do not understand

how the heck the top image corresponds to the other three, but it is clearly the same as the multiple-wavelength image you show, but it is "visible", perhaps "false color", light.

OOPS: I just noticed some of the pix I posted were of the “SOUTHERN CRAB” —— Sorry, all... they are pretty anyway...

[MtnClimber]

Thanks for posting those.
