-- A Giant Hubble Mosaic of the Crab Nebula
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=18422

"This is a mosaic image, one of the largest ever taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope of the
Crab Nebula, a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star's supernova explosion. Japanese
and Chinese astronomers recorded this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did,
almost certainly, Native Americans."
