A pixelated X-ray counts map of the Crab Nebula observed by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The image shows a bright, irregular yellow-green central region surrounded by progressively fainter blue and purple areas. The axes are labeled x and y, and a logarithmic color bar on the right shows photon counts from 10⁰ to 10³.
