M1 Crab Nebula

Hello fellow Cyberspace, today I want to share these astrophotographs that I have taken to M1 through the telescope network of Slooh these photos are with the Chile One telescope

This nebula that is the result of a supernova, which was first seen on July 4 of the year 1054 by the Chinese, the American aborigines, the Japanese and the Arabs, was so massive that it could continue to be observed for twenty-two months.

This is the first object that the French astronomer Charles Messier, use to start his famous catalog of objects that were not kites.

This nebula also has importance in the knowledge of the pulsar, since in its center it has one that rotates at 30 revolutions per second, this pulsar called PSR B0531 + 21, allowed us to prove that the pulsar was born of supernovae.

The light we see from this nebula is about 6300 years from the earth, with a diameter of about 6 light years and an expansion speed of 1500 km / s. It is found in the constellation of Taurus and is called the crab because it was most similar to the telescopes of the time.

I hope you like the pictures.
