Recycling Cassiopeia A
Cassiopeia A is an expanding debris cloud, an example of a massive star's final life phase. These stars create heavy elements in their cores and then blast that enriched material back into space when they explode. Light from this supernova remnant would have been first seen from Earth in the 17th century.
