M82: Starburst In X-rays

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

M82 is a starburst galaxy, forming stars ten times faster than the Milky Way. Winds from massive stars and supernova explosions have created the million-degree gas cloud seen here by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The false-color image shows bright spots, likely supernova remnants and X-ray bright binary stars. This intense activity drives a galactic superwind.
