NGC 1569: Starburst in a Small Galaxy

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Small, irregular galaxies also form stars, as seen in NGC 1569, which is undergoing a burst of star-forming activity. This dwarf galaxy's turbulent environment is fueled by supernova explosions, which spew out material and trigger further star formation. The burst is thought to have begun over 25 million years ago.
