Crab-like Remnants These remnants (also called plerions) resemble the Crab Nebula. These supernova remnants are similar to the shell type remnants, except that they contain a pulsar in the middle that blows out jets of very fast moving material. These remnants look more like a "blob" then a "ring". Image credit: S. L. Snowden (USRA, NASA/GSFC) Search for an Image: (Enter the name of an object.)
