A Superwind from the Cigar Galaxy

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Cigar Galaxy, also known as M82, is experiencing a galactic 'superwind.' This image from the Subaru Telescope highlights the red, expanding gas. While a close pass with M81 stirred up M82, the superwind is driven by the combined particle winds from many stars, pushing gas out of the galaxy.
