TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a new image of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, which formed about 340 years ago. The image shows the wreckage of the cataclysmic explosion in stunning detail, allowing scientists to perform "cosmic forensics" to better understand what happens when stars die. The material expelled by supernovas becomes the building blocks for the next generation of stars and planets. Investigating Cassiopeia A with JWST could help solve the mystery of how early galaxies came to be filled with large amounts of cosmic dust.
