Messier 82 (M82) is a starburst galaxy – it is forming new stars at a rate much faster than expected for a galaxy of its size 🏭⭐ When looking at M82 in visible light, the hotbed of star formation at its centre is obscured by dusty clouds. But the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s #NIRCam allows us to see through these clouds into its brilliant heart! #WebbSeesFarther 📷 ESA - European Space Agency / James Webb Space Telescope , NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration & Cana
