COSMIC MESSAGE

Grand spiral galaxies often get all the glory, but small, irregular galaxies form stars too. Dwarf galaxy IC 2574 shows clear evidence of intense star-forming activity in its pinkish regions of glowing hydrogen gas. Just as in spiral galaxies, the turbulent star-forming regions in IC 2574 are churned by stellar winds and supernova explosions. These events spew material into the galaxy's interstellar medium.
