Adam Block's Latest View of the Universe:
M1: The Crab Nebula Supernova Remnant (2012 and 2021)

This Page Shows the 2012 and 2021 Versions of the Crab Nebula as well as two versions of the YouTube video which shows its expansion. The first video is the "cinematic" version. The second can be used for classroom/educational settings (if the first doesn't work). Finally, a "Making of EPOCHs" will be released as well. Embedded videos can be played on YouTube at full screen (4K if you have it).

I sit here at my computer trying to think of words to describe how impressive this image is to me. The best I can do falls so far short of acceptable that I will not even try... The wonder and awe of an image like this is why I love astronomy so very much. Thank you allowing me the pleasure of seeing it. - D. Mosely
