The Formation of the Crab Nebula


The Crab Nebula started out as a Protostar, which is a very big star. That Protostar grew into a Supergiant star, which is 30 to 1000 times bigger than our own sun (which is a Yellow Dwarf). The Supergiant had a Supernova (which is when a Supergiant star explodes) and collapsed on itself. Eventually, the remains of the Supergiant became the Crab Nebula.

  1. I like how you made conectiona in your post. I think you could add a litle more detail. How did supergiant form into a crab nebula? what is the process?

  2. I felt that you had a great picture and short paragraph that explained a lot about the crab nebula's birth. It could be a little bit longer, but overall, it still had great detail even if there was not much shown. My question like Adzua's is how the super giant formed into a crab nebula? if you do not know the answer, than I understand. Great job overall!
