NASA's X-ray spacecraft XRISM, which stands for X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, has clocked how fast winds are ripping from a distant galaxy bursting with star formation.
The superheated gas from this galaxy, Messier 82 (M82), flows from a region of intense stellar activity at the galaxy's heart.
XRISM will continue to observe M82, potentially helping scientists solve this puzzle while simultaneously building better models of starburst galaxies.
