The Crab Nebula was observed by Earth as a supernova in 1054 A.D. Almost a thousand years later we see it as a super dense neutron star.
This image is actually a composite of images taken from the Hubble Telescope (red and yellow), the Chandra Observatory (blue) and the Spitzer Space Telescope (purple).
