Astronomers have captured an image of the remnants of supernova Cassiopeia A in the mid-infrared range. In this respect informs NASA press office.
The distance to this object is 11,000 sv. year. The epidemic itself on Earth can be observed in the 18th century, but historians cannot definitively identify it with the astronomical events cited in the sources. The gas and dust remnants of this explosion were previously known and observed with the Hubble telescope (photo below).
Now, scientists have been able to image this object in the mid-infrared range using the James Webb telescope. The colors of the image are artificial, the red and orange areas now correspond to gas and dust, the areas where heavy elements are concentrated, oxygen, argon and neon appear pink.
One of the most surprising elements of the image for researchers is the large green ring in the middle of the image.
“We named him the Green Monster. If you look closely, you will notice that it is dotted, which looks like small bubbles. Its shape and complexity are unexpected and elusive, astronomers report.
