We report the results of monitoring of the Crab Nebula using the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory. HST observations were obtained over an 8 month period on 10 day intervals. Coordinated observations were obtained at seven of these epochs, separated by 20 day intervals, using Chandra. Remarkable dynamic structure, seen at both visible and X-ray wavelengths, will be discussed.
