Cassiopeia A is a supernova remnant in the constellation Cassiopeia and the brightest extrasolar radio source in the sky at frequencies below 1 GHz. The supernova occurred approximately 11,000 light-y
Composite image of Cassiopeia A imaged by Chandra X-ray Observatory
A false color image composed of data from three sources: Red is infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, gold is visible data from the Hubble Space Telescope, and blue and green are data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The small, bright, baby-blue dot just off-center is the remnant of the star's core.
Cassiopeia A infrared echo as seen by unWISE. The observation time in this image ranges from 2015 (red) to 2020 (blue). The infrared echo appears as rainbow colored clouds. North is up.
The infrared echo caused by the Cassiopeia A supernova seen by Spitzer. The image was processed in a way that the infrared echo appears colored while dust clouds remain grey. North is on the left.
Cassiopeia is a constellation and asterism in the northern sky named after the vain queen Cassiopeia, mother of Andromeda, in Greek mythology, who boasted about her unrivaled beauty. Cassiopeia was on
