The Crab Nebula is cataloged as M1 on Charles Messier's famous list of interesting objects in the sky that were not stars, planets or comets.
This is the Crab Nebula, also known as M1 in Taurus.
The pulsar in the Crab Nebula was one of the first to be identified.

Crab nebula : A supernova remnant, located in the constellation Taurus, produced by the supernova explosion visible from earth in 1054 CE; a pulsar in the nebula marks the neutron-star corpse of the exploded star.
Check the latitude of M1 Crab Nebula with the Pleiades Constellation to confirm this by clicking this cartesian star map 411k and trace with your fingers the vertical position of these bodies.
The supernova that created the Crab Nebula in 1054 was recorded by Chinese and Japanese astronomers.

We believe this to be the supernova explosion that gave rise to the Crab Nebula , and our knowledge of the date of the explosion itself is a very important key in understanding the deaths of massive stars.
The famous crab nebula is a beautiful example of the still-expanding gases surrounding a supernova explosion that occurred in the year 1054.
The two images of the Crab Nebula supernova remnant and its pulsar shown below illustrate how higher resolution can reveal important new features.
