Re: Crab Nebula
However, the object which illuminates the crab nebula is a very powerful source, inspite of being 1000 years old. It is commonly believed that this object was first seen by Chinese astronomers 1000 years ago. My contention is that the Chinese witnessed a star birth, and not a star death.
A neutron star birth? The star at the center of the Crab certainly isn't "very powerful" in the visible!
