Cassiopeia A
Composite photograph of Earth,a detail from Michelangelo's ''The Creation of Adam'',and Cassiopeia A,a remnant of a once massive star that died in a violent supernova explosion three hundred twenty-five years ago. The background image was taken by three of NASA's Great Observatories,using three different wavebands of light. Infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope are coloured red; visible data from the Hubble Space Telescope are yellow; and x-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are green and blue. Located 10,000 light years away in the northern constellation Cassiopeia,Cassiopeia A consists of a dead star,called a neutron star,and a surrounding shell of material that was blasted off as the star died. The neutron star can be seen in the Chandra data as a sharp turquoise dot in the centre of the shimmering shell
