The James Webb Space Telescope's recent capture of Cassiopeia A (Cas A) in near-infrared light offers astronomers valuable insights into the dynamic processes within the supernova remnant. The intricate details of the supernova's inner shell, depicted in vivid pink and orange hues, are composed of sulfur, oxygen, argon, and neon originating from the star itself. Notably, the bottom right corner reveals a sizable, striated formation known as Baby Cas A, representing one of the rare light echoes visible within NIRCam's field of view.
