NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“A Superwind from the Cigar Galaxy” is copyrighted by FOCAS, Subaru 8.2-m Telescope, NAOJ. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Cigar Galaxy, M82, is experiencing a galactic "superwind." This red-glowing gas is being driven out by the combined particle winds of many stars. A recent pass near the large spiral galaxy M81 stirred up M82, and the Subaru Telescope highlights the specific color of this expanding gas.
