Este es el cúmulo de galaxias Abell 370, a 4000 millones de años luz. Está dominado por dos galaxias elípticas gigantes y la inmensa gravedad del cúmulo provoca la deformación de la luz de galaxias mucho más lejanas, que aparecen como arcos estirados. Crédito: NASA/ESA/J. Lotz et al. #FelizSabado

Cassiopeia A has been observed by astronomers since its discovery in 1948. Its close distance and brightness help telescopes like #NASAWebb see intricate details in the supernova remnant, informing astronomers about how its progenitor star exploded: https://t.co/ihRQgFXzBa
A striking view of HFG1
HFG1 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It formed from the material shed by the binary star system V664 Cassiopeiae
