The Crab Nebula in fulldome
The Crab Nebula is a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star's supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did, almost certainly, Native Americans.
This is just one of the many views a visitor can have from inside the planetarium at the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre.
