The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has once again unveiled groundbreaking insights into the universe, this time ...

Starburst galaxy M82 shines spectacularly in this Hubble Space Telescope image; spying it through a backyard scope, on the other hand, can reveal what seem like secret shimmering stars.

The new supernova 2014J, the brightest since 1993, is located in the galaxy M82. This Type-Ia supernova has just reached its peak brightness of magnitude 10.6.

COSMIC CRASH. Despite M82’s (right) distance from spiral galaxy M81 — some 130,000 light-years — gravity links the two galaxies; it’s only a matter of time before the pair collide and ...

Due to the effects of its proximity to another galaxy, M82 is a nursery of sorts to massive stars, which are 10 times more common there than in the Milky Way.

"Massive stars within starburst galaxies such as M82 (the Cigar galaxy), in which stars are formed at an exceptionally high rate, can copiously produce axions that exit from the dense cores and ...

This starburst galaxy, also known as Messier 82 (M82), has a compact but turbulent environment at its core that could give scientists a clearer picture of how stars are born en masse, and how ...

I woke up to some great science news: A supernova has gone off in the nearby galaxy M82!. This is terribly exciting for astronomers. M82 is pretty close as galaxies go, less than 12 million light ...

These before and after shots of the Cigar Galaxy (M82) by amateur astronomer Fred Hermann illustrate the dramatic emergence of a new supernova. The image at left was captured on Nov. 28, 2013.

The galaxy, known as M82, is 10 million light years away and is a stellar production line churning out new stars at a prodigious rate. However, many of these stars die quickly in huge explosions ...

(Phys.org) —A supernova has been spotted in the constellation Ursa Major (between the Big and Little Dipper in the night sky) in the M82 galaxy (affectionately known as the cigar galaxy) by a ...
