At its centre is a pulsar: a super-dense neutron star, spinning once every 33 milliseconds, shooting out rotating lighthouse-like beams of radio waves and visible light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Surrounding the pulsar lies a mix of material; some of it was originally expelled from the star before it went supernova, and the rest was ejected during the explosion itself. Fast-moving winds of particles fly off from the neutron star, energising the dust and gas around it. These different layers and intricacies of the nebula can be observed in all of the different wavelengths of light.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This captivating new image shows the Crab Nebula in bright neon colours.
