NASA's James Webb Space Telescope takes new image of supernova remnant

Cassiopeia A is the youngest known supernova remnant in the Milky Way Galaxy. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was able to view it in greater detail than previous observations.

Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is a supernova remnant located about 11,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. It spans approximately 10 light-years. This new image uses data from Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) to reveal Cas A in a new light.
