This video shows a zoom into the remnant of the supernova explosion known as Cassiopeia A (Cas A), located ten thousand light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is the youngest known remnant from a supernova explosion in the Milky Way. The new Hubble image shows the complex and intricate structure of the star's shattered fragments.
