According to esahubble.org, M82 is a starburst galaxy. Literally the stars are bursting from this turbulent and very active galaxy. The red plumes of hydrogen appear to be blasting out from the central core. New stars are being formed 10 times faster than our own galaxy. I find this galaxy to be quite unusual in appearance and I have always wanted to photograph it since I was a kid.
