this is rather faint and indistinct, but it definitely has some fun notes. its proximity to a bright star in the sky is quite neat, the fact that humans literally saw the supernova that caused this is amazing, and apparently the crab pulsar's rotation can literally be seen visibly as an oscillation in its brightness.

I love many nebulas but this is up there for me, very likable and cute and fun space history origin story. Good nebula
