Image of M82 from an anonymous source
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.
