  1. #photo of the Cigar #galaxy taken last night with my #vaonis #telescope, right next to it is Bode's Galaxy. I should have recentered the image so both were better framed.

  2. Lightspeed is too slow. We'll have to go right to ludicrous speed.

    2 million miles per hour (3.21 million kilometers per hour).
    The superheated gas from this galaxy, Messier 82 (M82), flows from a region of intense stellar activity at the galaxy's heart. M82 is located around 12 million light-years away from us in the northern constellation Ursa Major and classified as a "starburst galaxy" because it is forming stars 10 times as rapidly as the Milky Way does.

  7. The Cigar Galaxy M 82 above Bode's Galaxy M81. About 12 million light years away. #astrophotography #seestar #m81 #m82

  8. I was "developing" a shot of #M81 and #M82 when I started to get side-tracked and got curious about those nifty #Siril scripts. Notably, the #Galaxy Annotation script. And oh boy, is it marvelous.

    Here is a picture of M81 and M82, and _a lot_ of other stuff ... mostly blotches, but still... those are some exceptionally old photons!

    Question; is this really what we are seeing here?

    Warning: _LARGE_ (as in 9k Pixels in height) picture.

  9. The Cigar Galaxy M82 with Bode's Galaxy M81 peeking up from the bottom. About 12 million light years away. #astrophotography #seestar #m82

  10. Może i warunki pogodowe są kiepskie, ale za to światło Księżyca jeszcze to potęguje.

  11. 🌌 M82: From Smudge to Splendor 🌌

    M82, the famous irregular galaxy in Ursa Major, might just look like a grey smudge in Ron Brecher's 10" reflector, but thanks to the power of the Celestron 14" EdgeHD telescope✨🔭, Ron can finally see its true beauty!

  12. Djaffar s'est amusé à combiner le H-alpha et le RGB pour le couple #M81 et #M82
    Setup : le SW200/800, Caméra couleur ASI2600MC. Les brutes : 75 x 300s en Lpro et 45 x 600s en L-Extrem
    Pour le montage, il a extrait le H-Alpha issue du L-Extrem (la couche rouge) et il a ajouté au RGB (LPro) avec le script "CobineHaWithRGB" dans #PixInsight

    JWST blickt in das Herz einer Starburst-Galaxie

    Ein Forschungsteam, darunter Leindert Boogaard und Fabian Walter vom MPIA, nutzte die hohe Infrarotempfindlichkeit des Weltraumteleskops James Webb (JWST), um die Umgebung intensiver Sternentstehung im Zentrum der Starburst-Galaxie M 82 zu untersuchen.

    An article submitted for publication in "The Astrophysical Journal" reports a study of the exceptional rate of star formation in the M82 galaxy. A team of researchers led by Alberto Bolatto of the University of Maryland, College Park, used the James Webb Space Telescope to map powerful galactic winds that expel vast amounts of gas caused by star formation and supernova explosions.

  22. Messier 82 – Cigar Galaxy
    Messier 82 reaches its highest point in the sky around astronomical midnight, around February 16th. It is an irregularly shaped galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major, also known as the Cigar Galaxy due to its long, slender shape.
