This image taken in near-infrared light with NASA's Webb Space Telescope provides a detailed look at the tattered remains of a supernova explosion known as Cassiopeia A (Cas A). It is the youngest known remnant from a supernova explosion in the Milky Way. With its powerful vision, Webb can detect the tiniest knots of sulfur, oxygen, argon and neon gas from the star.
