Nebulae Pulsar Neutron Stars
Neutron stars are only a few
kilometers in diameter, yet, they have a mass similar to that of the Sun and
rotate rapidly. Chinese astronomers recorded the supernova explosion that
created the Crab Nebula around July 4, 1054 AD.
A pulsar, neutron star,
beats as the heartcore of the Crab, rotating thirty times a second. The Crab
Nebula is a swiftly expanding emission nebula where electrons emit a photon of
red light as they recombine with protons, forming many hydrogen atoms and giving
the nebula it ruddy glow.

The Crab rules the
Astrological Sign of Cancer, the Sun Sign most often associate with the Divine
Mother energies.
Gazing at the picture above one can see the outline of a
goddess like figure cradling an infant wrapped in a thick blanket who is nestled
against her left shoulder.
