James Webb Space Telescope reveals never-before-seen details of 'Green Monster'

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unique details of remnants of an exploded star. Cassiopeia A's glowing gas and dust are remains of a star which exploded in a supernova, according to reports.

Cassiopeia A is located in the Cassiopeia constellation and is 11,000 light-years away. Scientists can learn more about occurrence of stellar explosion after exploring Cassiopeia A.

The infrared image of Cassiopeia A captured by James Webb Space Telescope has been translated into visible light. One can bright pink light inside the bubble structure.

"Cas A represents our best opportunity to look at the debris field of an exploded star and run a kind of stellar autopsy to understand what type of star was there beforehand and how that star exploded," said Danny Milisavljevic of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana in a statement. Danny Milisavljevic is a principal investigator of the Webb program that captured these observations.

"Compared to previous infrared images, we see incredible detail that we haven't been able to access before," Tea Temim of Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey, a co-investigator on the program stated.

"We’ve nicknamed it the Green Monster in honor of Fenway Park in Boston. If you look closely, you’ll notice that it’s pockmarked with what look like mini-bubbles," said Milisavljevic.
