Crab Nebula Mini Poster

A vertical poster with an image of the Crab Nebula against a black background. On the oval-shaped nebula’s exterior lie curtains of glowing red and orange fluffy material. Translucent thin ribbons of smoky white lie within the remnant’s interior, brightest toward its center, and become more diffuse further outward. A faint, wispy ring of white material encircles the very center of the nebula. There are many blue, red, and yellow points throughout the image. Along the bottom is a series of thin vertical bars ranging from purple at left to blue, green, yellow, orange, and red at right. Bars are separated slightly, with black in between. Bar colors are brightest at the bottom, fading up to black. Brightness varies from bar to bar, giving the array an undulating feel. At upper right is text that reads, "National Aeronautics and Space Administration" and NASA’s blue, white, and red meatball insignia. Title text appears at lower left that says, "James Webb Space Telescope: Crab Nebula."
