Solution:
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant in the constellation of Taurus.
The common name comes from William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, who observed the object in 1840 using a 36-inch telescope and produced a drawing that looked somewhat like a crab.
Corresponding to a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054, the nebula was observed later by English astronomer John Bevis in 1731.
The nebula was the first astronomical object identified corresponding to a historical supernova explosion.
