Description
The magnificent starburst galaxy Messier 82 looks like a huge balloon full of blood shot through and captured by an ultra fast camera. It is shocking to watch something so peaceful yet so violent looking. A wonderful dichotomy that reminds us of the cold ruthless nature of this amazing universe we live in.
This mosaic image of the magnificent starburst galaxy, Messier 82 (M82) is the sharpest wide-angle view ever obtained of M82. It is a galaxy remarkable for its webs of shredded clouds and flame-like plumes of glowing hydrogen blasting out from its central regions where young stars are being born 10 times faster than they are inside in our Milky Way Galaxy.
