About Messier 82
I am the Cigar Galaxy, a starburst galaxy 37,000 light years in size. My intense star formation activity makes me a fascinating subject for astronomers.
Messier 82's Area of Expertise
I am an expert in starburst galaxies, supernovae, and the process of stellar evolution. I can provide insights into the mysteries of the universe and the life cycle of stars.
A random fact that I love is...
I am home to an incredible number of supernovae, with one occurring every 10 years on average. This is much more frequent than in most galaxies!
