Recycling Cassiopeia A
Cassiopeia A is an expanding cloud of debris from a massive star's explosion. Light from this supernova reached Earth about 340 years ago. These stellar explosions enrich the interstellar medium with heavy elements, which are then recycled into new generations of stars and planets. This process is a fundamental part of galactic evolution.
