James Webb telescope captures stunning image of youngest 'Green Monster' supernova in Milky Way.

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the sharpest image yet of the debris field of Cassiopeia A, the remnants of a supernova that appeared in Earth's skies 340 years ago. The image reveals the leftovers of the supernova in brilliant green, pink, and orange, with each color representing a different wavelength of infrared light that would actually be invisible to the human eye. Scientists are using the images to dissect what happened to the ill-fated star before it died and hope to figure out where the universe's dust comes from.
