Crab Nebula: Size

The diameter of the Crab Nebula is 104,068,035,198,388.8 kilometers (or eleven light years). It's so big, that it can't even fit into the sun! The sun can fit into the Crab Nebula 74,815,267 times!!! That is a VERYYYYYY big nebula. If i could, I would post a picture of the Crab Nebula in comparison to the sun, or a planet, but I searched for an image of that and Google failed me. (I know very sad and disapointing...Google promised not to fail anyone!!! LIES!!!) I will continue my search though!!! But for now, we just know that the Crab Nebula is very, VERY, VERY big!
