“The limit on the Crab Pulsar’s emission of gravitational waves is but one of a number of important results obtained from LIGO’s recent two-year observing period.

From within a glowing web expanding outward from an epic explosion, a dead star is flashing pulses of radio light at Earth. This is the Crab Pulsar, and within its radio pulses is a strange signal ...

Scientists have mapped the iconic Crab Nebula's magnetic field in greater detail than ever before using NASA's latest X-ray telescope.

The Crab Pulsar is about 6500 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Taurus. The light from the supernova that formed the Crab Nebula and Pulsar first reached Earth in July 1054.

Astrophysicists have detected pulsed gamma-ray emission from the Crab pulsar at energies far beyond what current theoretical models of pulsars can explain. With energies exceeding 100 billion ...

Researchers hope that by further probing the mysterious object, MSH 15-52, they can learn how this type of event creates high ...

The Crab Nebula, also known as Messier 1, is one of the most well-known celestial objects, as this breathtaking supernova remnant has been imaged hundreds of times by NASA and all the way down to ...

Scientists using coordinated observations of the Crab pulsar in a number of frequencies, have discovered that the 'giant radio pulses' which it emits include an increase in x-ray emissions in ...
