WOW!
That is really incredible! As I understand it, it takes months to put these images together because the telescope only takes picutres of tiny little pieces at a time, and someone has to put them all together!

Good gravy! Think of the abundance of valuable elements contained within that expanse of debris. Our Earth would be but a speck within it.

Do the crab people come from the Crab Nebula?
Either way, that's a spectacular photograph. NASA needs to keep Hubble in operation.

Awesome. But where in the pic is this neutron star they are talking about?

That thing is 6 light years across and the neutron star is about the size of a city. Add to that the fact that neutron stars don't emit much in the way of visible light and then you can understand why it's not apparent in that picture.
The NS would be about the size of a pinprick relatively (no pun intended) speaking.
