The Crab Nebula is the glowing remains of a star that exploded long ago, creating beautiful swirling clouds of gas and energy in space.

Many cultures believe that performing special activities during different times of the moon can create changes in our lives or feelings. These special activities usually happen during the full moon and, sometimes, during the new moon. People who follow practices like Wicca often use these times for their rituals. These traditions show how people have long connected the moon’s changes with important moments and meaning.
