NASA labs are functioning as human eyes for the vast universe.
NASA recently stunned netizens by sharing a 10-year-old Labs video of the Sun, a picture of a black hole and a rectangular glacier in Antarctica. The pictures and videos shared by NASA have mesmerized the world. As the Olympic Games are held in Tokyo, Japan, NASA has shared a colorful picture of the city of Tokyo shining from the sky.
The picture stunned the netizens by showing that only Tokyo, Japan, is dazzling with colored lights and the rest of Japan around it is not so bright.
Case in point, the space agency NASA has enticed netizens to look at the remnants of a supernova explosion in a 300-year-old star 11,000 light-years from Earth.
NASA laboratories are working as human eyes towards the vast universe. A feast for the eyes that bring before us the great view of the distant universe. NASA photographed and shared the remnants of the scattering of colored light that occurred during a supernova nearly a century ago.
NASA shared the image on its official Instagram page, describing it as a color kaleidoscope. The image was taken by their top 3 laboratories, which include state-of-the-art technology and astronomical telescopes.
But NASA laboratories are said to have last captured its light in 2003-04. NASA shared a stunning image on its Instagram post titled A Kaleidoscope of Color, which states that the 300-year-old Cassiopeia A-Cas A, formed from a supernova explosion of a giant star, is about 11,000 light-years from Earth.
NASA also claims that the different colors in the photo identify the details provided by each laboratory. This gives astronomers a complete overview of Cas A. The red color of the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared data shows "warm dust in the outer mantle with a temperature of about 10 °C".
Post further explains that the different color in the image provide different details captured by each laboratory and give astronomers a holistic view of Cos A.
According to NASA, infrared data from the Red-Spitzer Space Telescope show warm dust in the outer shell emitting warm dust with a temperature of about 10 °C (50 °F) and yellow optical data from NASA's Hubble Telescope at about 10,000 °C.
Blue and green are X-ray data from NASA's Lunar X-ray Laboratory showing the gas at about 10 million degrees Celsius. "This hot gas was created when material emitted by the supernova was crushed into the surrounding gas and dust at about 10 million miles per hour," NASA writes.
