The Crab Nebula is about 11 light years across and approximately 6500 light years away. In this view it appears about 5 arc minutes across. Lots of subtle rose-coloured cords and twisted knots suffused with a brighter fuzzy cloud. M1 is a supernova remnant that corresponds with a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054.
