For the first time, scientists directly measure the speed of hot gas exploding from the heart of M82a galaxy that forms stars ten times faster than the Milky Way. The wind is traveling at more than 3 million miles per hour, fast enough, researchers say, to drive a massive star stream that stretches tens of … Read more
