Did you ever wonder where all those elements in the Periodic Table come from? All but the lightest elements are produced in the interior of stars, and thrown out into space by winds and explosions. A supernova remnant is an example of the heavy elements created in a massive star mixing with the interstellar medium. X-ray observations of Cassiopeia A with NASA's Chandra satellite provide hints of this mixing process.
