How we check files

Made by Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory

Objects, specimens and science from the Smithsonian's collections in 3D, released under CC0 through Smithsonian Open Access.

This result shows Cassiopeia A, called Cas A for short, coming alive through the third dimension of space. Utilizing a technique borrowed from medical imaging, astronomers now have a way to travel through the heart of Cas A using data from NASA's Chandra and Spitzer telescopes. The different colors shown here correspond to different chemical elements present in the debris from the supernova explosion.
