Know Thyself Shirt - All Seeing Eye Crab Nebula

This t-shirt features my original composite artwork of an all seeing eye peering out of The Crab Nebula with the caption "Know Thyself". To me, "Know Thyself" is an invitation to turn inward and get to know my true self, beyond the superficial everyday meaning of self. The Ancient Greek aphorism "know thyself" or maxim has had a variety of meanings attributed to it in literature. The Suda, a 10th-century encyclopaedia of Greek knowledge, says: "the proverb is applied to those whose boasts exceed what they are", and that "know thyself" is a warning to pay no attention to the opinion of the multitude.

Corresponding to a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054, the nebula was observed later by John Bevis in 1731. At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, comparable to that of the largest moon of Saturn, it is not visible to the naked eye but can be made out using binoculars under favourable conditions.
