Nebulae can vary in distance from Earth. Some are close, within a few hundred or thousand light-years, while others can be many thousands or even millions of light-years away. The closest known nebula to Earth is the Helix Nebula, which is about 700 light-years away.
The Trifid Nebula is about 5,200 light years away from Earth.
6,300 years
the Crab-nebula is 6,500 light-years from Earth.
The distance from Earth is about 6,500 light years (2000 parsecs).
Distance to center of Milky Way: about 26,000 light-years. Distance to Orion Nebula: about 1,300 light-years.
The Crab Nebula is about 6,500 light-years away from Earth. Since one light-year is the distance light travels in one year, it took 6,500 years for the light from the Crab Nebula's explosion in 1054 to reach Earth.
1344 years
The Crab Nebula is within the Milky Way galaxy, but about 2000 parsecs away from Earth, or about 6300 light years. It is still expanding from the initial supernova (observed in 1054 AD) and is currently about 11 light-years in diameter.
The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is one of the largest and most active star-forming regions in our nearby universe. It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, around 160,000 light years away from Earth. The Tarantula Nebula is roughly 1,000 light years in diameter.
well the crab nebula is about 6,500 light years away so it would take 6,500 years to get there at the speed of light but we do not have any space craft that travel at that speed so it would take over a billion if not trillion years to get there!
A long standing problem in the study of planetary nebulae is that their distances are generally not well known. Many methods for estimating distances to planetary nebulae rely on making general assumptions, which may be very inaccurate for the object concerned. On this basis, the approximate distance is 3,300 light years
