The central area of the Crab Nebula
The Crab Nebula, one of the most famous objects in the northern sky, was observed rather low above the La Silla horizon (altitude) with the NTT. Despite this adverse condition, the picture shows in great detail the complex structure. The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova which exploded in the year 1054.
