NASA’S Spitzer Captures Echo of Dead Star’s Rumblings

“An enormous light echo etched in the sky by a fitful dead star was spotted by the infrared eyes of NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. The surprising finding indicates Cassiopeia A, the remnant of a star that died in a supernova explosion 325 years ago, is not resting peacefully. Instead, this dead star likely shot out at least one burst of energy as recently as 50 years ago.”
