The nearby interacting starburst galaxy Messier 82 in an image

through a narrow-band filter including H-alpha emission. The ionized-gas

filaments extending along the galaxy’s minor axis trace a large-scale wind

powered by the starburst. The image was taken with a TI CCD at the

Lowell 1.1m telescope.
