Explore the Crab Nebula...but make it musical! 🎶 Purple = Hubble’s visible light data (strings) Blue & white = Chandra X-ray Observatory's X-ray data (brass) Pink = Spitzer Space Telescope’s infrared data (woodwinds) Light towards the top of the image is played as higher pitched notes and brighter light is played louder.

A special Valentine created for you by the Hubble Space Telescope: the “beating heart” of the Crab Nebula. This time-lapse was created from multiple observations by the telescope between September and November 2005. Structures like ripples in a pond expand outward from a rapidly spinning neutron star, the remnant core of a star that has exploded in a supernova.
