The early identification of the strong X-ray source in Taurus with the Crab nebula (Bowyer et al. 1964) was the first milestone in the association of X-ray emission with supernova remnants. Unfortunately, it proved to be “red herring” which clouded the interpretation of X-ray emission from supernova remnants for a decade. Because the Crab was one of the brightest X-ray sources in the sky at a few keV, the interrogation energy of the early surveys, and because it was the first (and for several years the only) X-ray source conclusively identified, the potential association of a supernova origin with the large body of unidentified X-ray sources was not an unreasonable hypothesis.
