This image shows a stunning view of a Starburst galaxy produced by space telescopes. M82 is a galaxy about 12 million light years from Earth that is undergoing a burst of star formation. X-rays from Chandra (blue) show gas being blasted away from the galaxy's disk as a bounty of stars is born. | "Smithsonian" and the Smithsonian logo are registered trademarks owned by Smithsonian Institution.
