This image shows Cassiopeia A in the most detailed image ever made of the remains of an exploded star. The colors represent different ranges of X-rays with red, green, and blue representing, low, medium, and higher X-ray energies of the supernova remnant. A large jet-like structure that protrudes beyond the shock wave can be seen in the upper left. REUTERS/NASA/CXC/GSFC/U.Hwang et al./HO
