The continuum radiation from the Crab Nebula has a great deal of structure, the majority of which is strongly polarized. Wisps in the vicinity of the pulsar at the centre of the nebula move noticeably in a few months. The appearance of the nebula changes markedly when photographed in different emission lines, as a result of the variations of physical conditions from place to place within the nebula.
