This crab nebula picture is my favorite one of all nebulas I've seen, I wanted to ask you if I could please use this picture as a background picture (with your name on it) for a fan page on facebook. I wait for your response,
thanks a lot

Fingers, Loops and Bays in the Crab Nebula

Submitted by Jon Hanford on Sun, 11/09/2008 - 18:09.

Jon Hanford What a great image of the Crab Nebula SNR showing both detail around and near the central pulsar and the fainter, less obvious XR emissions further from the pulsar source. Similar images of, say, M 87 and Cen A would also be appreciated by the general public and the astrophysics community. Great job, kudos to all involved!
