The Subaru Telescope, fitted with its instrument COMICS (Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrometer), has produced a new image of the interior of the famous starburst galaxy Messier 82 (M 82) that reveals young star clusters as well as the sources of its superwind in spectacular detail. The ultra-sharp image contributes to our understanding of this complex, young galaxy by showing that M 82's galactic windstorms emanate from many sites rather than from any single cluster of stars.
