Were we wrong about the origin of the Crab Nebula?
Until now, it was widely believed that the Crab Nebula originated from an electron capture supernova. This type of supernova occurs when a massive star runs out of fuel in its core, leading to the collapse of the star as electrons are captured by protons, forming neutrons. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy, causing the star to explode.
But now amazing new data from the James Webb Space Telescope is calling into question everything we thought we knew about the Crab Nebula!
Tune in to find out everything you need to know about these incredible new insights!
