Crab Nebula Puzzle

Astronomy enthusiasts will enjoy completing this 550-piece puzzle featuring the Crab Nebula. This mosaic image is one of the largest ever taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope of the Crab Nebula. It shows the 6-light-year-wide expanding remanent of a star's supernova explosion, an event recorded nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054.

This richly colored, high-resolution image measures 15" x 21" upon completion.  Included is a bonus poster for reference during assembly.
