Scientific paper

Observations of the line emission from the Crab Nebula indicate a structure consisting of dense filaments from which thin clumpy sheets of gas fan out radially. The jet feature noted by van den Bergh (1970) is one of these sheets. The sheets may have been created by the differential acceleration of filaments, or they may be the result of the formation of the dense filaments by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
