All conclusions concerning the nature of the Crab nebula up to the present have been based upon the interpretation of its continuous spectrum given by Baade and Minkowski in their well-known studies ([1, 2]; see also [3, 4]), It was suggested that its continuous emission is a thermal radiation caused by the extremely hot amorphous mass of this nebula. A consequence of this interpretation is that the mass of the envelope is of the order of 10–20 solar masses and the kinetic temperature is extremely high. The filamentary part of the nebula possesses more or less ordinary characteristics.
