The Crab Nebula is the remainder of a supernova left behind after the death of a large star. The supernova was noted in the constellation Taurus nearly one thousand years ago. The Crab is the strongest persistent source in the sky, with measured flux exteneding to above 10 TeV. I chose this photo because of the nebula's resemblance to veins in the human body. That's pretty cool.
