Cassiopeia A, Chandra 3-color X-ray
This 3-color version of the Chandra First Light data displays a wealth of detail and drama. Note the shock wave on the outer edge, and the blow-out on the upper left, as well as the enigmatic bright spot in the middle. The low, medium, and higher X-ray energies of the Chandra data are shown as red, green, and blue.

Cassiopeia A, Chandra X-ray
Cas A on Blue: This striking color rendition displays
a wealth of detail and drama. Note the shock wave on
the outer edge, and the blow-out on the upper left, as
well as the enigmatic bright spot in the middle. The
colors represent X-ray brightness (yellow = brightest,
blue = background), not temperature.

Cassiopeia A, Chandra X-ray
This image from the Chandra X-ray Observatory
illustrates the two-dimensional spectral capability of
the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS)
instrument. The image shows the supernova remnant Cas
A, where the colors reflect the temperature of the hot
gas. Red colors correspond to temperatures below
approximately 20 million degrees Celsius, and blue
colors correspond to temperatures above approximately
30 million degrees Celsius.
