The result is an unparalleled, detailed look at the aftermath of a supernova and how it has evolved over Hubble\u2019s long lifetime. A paper detailing the new Hubble observation is published in <a href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.3847\/1538-4357\/ae2adc\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Astrophysical Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This new Hubble observation continues a legacy that stretches back nearly 1,000 years, when astronomers in 1054 recorded the supernova as an impressively bright new star that, for weeks, was visible even during the day. The Crab Nebula is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/hubble\/science\/explore-the-night-sky\/hubble-messier-catalog\/messier-1\/\" rel=\"noopener\">aftermath of SN 1054<\/a>, located 6,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tend to think of the sky as being unchanging, immutable,\u201d said astronomer William Blair of Johns Hopkins University, who led the new observations. \u201cHowever, with the longevity of the Hubble Space Telescope, even an object like the Crab Nebula is revealed to be in motion, still expanding from the explosion nearly a millennium ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The supernova remnant was discovered in the mid-18th century, and in the 1950s Edwin Hubble was among several astronomers who noted the close correlation between Chinese astronomical records of a supernova and the position of the Crab Nebula. The discovery that the heart of the Crab contained a <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/hubble\/science\/science-behind-the-discoveries\/hubble-pulsars\/\" rel=\"noopener\">pulsar<\/a> \u2014 a rapidly rotating <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/universe\/stars\/types\/#neutron-stars\" rel=\"noopener\">neutron star<\/a> \u2014 that was powering the nebula\u2019s expansion finally aligned modern observations and ancient records.<\/p>\n<p>In its new image, Hubble captured the nebula\u2019s intricate filamentary structure, as well as the considerable outward movement of those filaments over 25 years, at a pace of 3.4 million miles per hour. Hubble is the only telescope with the combination of longevity and resolution capable of capturing these detailed changes.<\/p>\n<p>For better comparison with the new image, Hubble\u2019s 1999 image of the Crab was re-processed. The variation of colors in both of the Hubble images shows a combination of changes in local temperature and density of the gas as well as its chemical composition.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-wide\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/releases\/2026\/03\/STScI-01KJQWS2TX2REXHGQ32X7EJ7V1.jpg?w=3864&#038;h=3864&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3864\" height=\"3864\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/releases\/2026\/03\/STScI-01KJQWS2TX2REXHGQ32X7EJ7V1.jpg?w=3864&#038;h=3864&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Colorful nebula in space with a white haze throughout that is more concentrated in the center with a rippling effect.

Wide Field Camera 3 was <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/hubble\/observatory\/missions-to-hubble\/servicing-mission-4\/\" rel=\"noopener\">installed in 2009<\/a>, the last time Hubble instruments were updated by astronauts.<\/p>\n<p>Blair noted that filaments around the periphery of the nebula appear to have moved more compared to those in the center, and that rather than stretching out over time, they appear to have simply moved outward. This is due to the nature of the Crab as a pulsar wind nebula powered by synchrotron radiation, which is created by the interaction between the pulsar\u2019s magnetic field and the nebula\u2019s material. In other <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/asset\/hubble\/cassiopeia-a-colorful-shredded-remains-of-old-supernova\/\" rel=\"noopener\">well-known supernova remnants<\/a>, the expansion is instead driven by shockwaves from the initial explosion, eroding surrounding shells of gas that the dying star previously cast off.<\/p>\n<p>The new, higher-resolution Hubble observations are also providing additional insights into the 3D structure of the Crab Nebula, which can be difficult to determine from a 2D image, Blair said. Shadows of some of the filaments can be seen cast onto the haze of synchrotron radiation in the nebula\u2019s interior. \u00a0Counterintuitively, some of the brighter filaments in the latest Hubble images show no shadows, indicating they must be located on the far side of the nebula.<\/p>\n<p>According to Blair, the real value of Hubble\u2019s Crab Nebula observations is still to come. The Hubble data can be paired with recent data from other telescopes that are observing the Crab in different wavelengths of light. NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/missions\/webb\/investigating-the-origins-of-the-crab-nebula-with-nasas-webb\/\" rel=\"noopener\">James Webb Space Telescope<\/a> released its infrared-light observations of the Crab Nebula in 2024. Comparison of the Hubble image with other contemporary multiwavelength observations will help scientists put together a more complete picture of the supernova\u2019s continuing aftermath, centuries after astronomers first wondered at a new little star twinkling in the sky.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Hubble Space Telescope has been operating for more than three decades and continues to make ground-breaking discoveries that shape our fundamental understanding of the universe. Hubble is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope and mission operations. Lockheed Martin Space, based in Denver, also supports mission operations at NASA Goddard. The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, conducts Hubble science operations for NASA.<\/em><\/p>\n<div

Energy from the rapidly spinning pulsar at the nebula\u2019s core is driving the filaments outward. Some differences between the images likely relate to the change in instruments on Hubble. The 1999 image was taken with Hubble\u2019s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 instrument, which NASA astronauts replaced with the Wide Field Camera 3 in 2009 during Hubble\u2019s last servicing mission. Each instrument took several shots to create a mosaic image of the full nebula. Wide Field Camera 3 has a slightly greater range of detection, both in surface area and filters for imaging.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- File List --><\/p>\n<div class=\"downloads-wrapper padding-3 margin-y-4\">\n<h3 class=\"image-details-downloads-heading padding-top-0 padding-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDownloads\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<div class=\"hds-file-list-row\">\n<div class=\"hds-list-thumbnail hds-file-list-thumbnail\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-list-details\">\n<div class=\"hds-list-name hds-file-list-name\">\n<p>Hubble image of the Crab Nebula (2024) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-list-meta-item hds-file-list-filetype\">\n<p>JPEG<\/p>\n<p>(5 MB)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-list-cta hds-file-list-download\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/releases\/2026\/03\/STScI-01KJQWS2TX2REXHGQ32X7EJ7V1.jpg\"  download rel=\"noopener\"><svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle cx=\"16\" cy=\"16.0001\" r=\"16\" fill=\"#1C67E3\"\/><path d=\"M15.2357 8.00007L15.2357 16.4829L11.9504 13.4078L10.8801 14.4094L16.0001 19.2001L21.1201 14.4094L20.0499 13.4078L16.7645 16.4829L16.7645 8.00007L15.2357 8.00007Z\" fill=\"white\"\/><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.6 20.8001V18.4001H8V22.4001H24V18.4001H22.4V20.8001H9.6Z\" fill=\"white\"\/><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-list-cta hds-file-list-download\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-file-list-row\">\n<div class=\"hds-list-thumbnail hds-file-list-thumbnail\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-list-details\">\n<div class=\"hds-list-name hds-file-list-name\">\n<p>Hubble image of the Crab Nebula (1999) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-list-meta-item hds-file-list-filetype\">\n<p>JPEG<\/p>\n<p>(5 MB)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-list-cta hds-file-list-download\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/releases\/2026\/03\/STScI-01KJR33K9RKGM84B2RK8AGPT8W.jpg\"  download rel=\"noopener\"><svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle cx=\"16\" cy=\"16.0001\" r=\"16\" fill=\"#1C67E3\"\/><path d=\"M15.2357 8.00007L15.2357 16.4829L11.9504 13.4078L10.8801 14.4094L16.0001 19.2001L21.1201 14.4094L20.0499 13.4078L16.7645 16.4829L16.7645 8.00007L15.2357 8.00007Z\" fill=\"white\"\/><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.6 20.8001V18.4001H8V22.4001H24V18.4001H22.4V20.8001H9.6Z\" fill=\"white\"\/><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-list-cta hds-file-list-download\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-featured-link-list bg-carbon-05 padding-x-2 tablet:padding-x-3 desktop:padding-x-4 padding-y-5 desktop:padding-y-6 hds-module hds-module-full alignfull wp-block-nasa-blocks-featured-link-list\">\n<div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block padding-0\">\n<div class=\"margin-bottom-4\">\n<h2 class=\"heading-22\">\n\t\t\t\tRelated Images &#038; Videos\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-row padding-y-2 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important\">\n<div class=\"grid-row featured-link-list-row width-full flex-align-center\">\n<div class=\"grid-col-2 desktop:grid-col-1 tablet:padding-right-3 desktop:padding-right-5\">\n<div class=\"width-full\">\n<div class=\"hds-cover-wrapper width-full ratio-1x1 radius-pill overflow-hidden\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3864\" height=\"3864\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/releases\/2026\/03\/STScI-01KJQWS2TX2REXHGQ32X7EJ7V1.jpg?w=3864&#038;h=3864&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Colorful nebula in space with a white haze throughout that is more concentrated in the center with a rippling effect.
