M82 is also known as the Cigar Galaxy and is about 12 million light-years from us. It is also a star burst galaxy with a very active core with plumes of red hydrogen blasting out into space. New star formation is happening at a tremendous rate making it one of the most interesting galaxies we know of. This image is an APOD.
