JWST Revisits Famous Supernova Remnant Cassiopeia A And Finds Even More Mysterious FeaturesCassiopeia A as seen by NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera), showing the expanding shell of material slamming into the gas shed by the star before it exploded. The most noticeable colors are clumps of bright orange and light pink that make up the inner shell of the supernova remnant. These tiny knots of gas, comprised of sulfur, oxygen, argon, and neon from the star itself, are only detectable by NIRCam’s exquisite resolution.
