Supernova remnant Cassiopeia A
This stunning false-color picture shows off the many sides of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, which is made up of images taken by three observatories, using three different wavebands of light. Infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope are colored red; visible data from the Hubble Space Telescope are yellow; and X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are green and blue.
Located 10, 000 light-years away in the northern constellation Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia A is the remnant of a once massive star that died in a violent supernova explosion 325 years ago. It consists of a dead star, called a neutron star, and a surrounding shell of material that was blasted off as the star died. The neutron star can be seen in the Chandra data as a sharp turquoise dot in the center of the shimmering shell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The image showcases the remnant from various perspectives, thanks to a combination of images taken by three different observatories using distinct wavebands of light. The false-color representation highlights the intricate details and vivid colors present in this celestial wonder. Infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope is depicted as a striking red hue, while visible data captured by the Hubble Space Telescope appears in a captivating yellow shade. The Chandra X-ray Observatory's X-ray data adds depth to the image with its vibrant green and blue tones. Situated 10,000 light-years away within the northern constellation Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia A emerged following an explosive supernova event that occurred approximately 325 years ago. This extraordinary phenomenon resulted in a neutron star at its core, which can be observed as a brilliant turquoise dot amidst the shimmering shell in Chandra's imagery. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring snapshot, we are reminded of both our insignificance within the vastness of space and our insatiable curiosity about distant galaxies and their enigmatic secrets. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding regarding our place in this magnificent universe.
