Shadow, First of His Name Mar 31

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.

This star-forming galaxy is blowing out powerful winds topping 2 million mph

The team found the center of the galaxy expels enough gas to form seven suns each year.

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
