Re: APOD: NGC 253: Dusty Island Universe (2024 Feb 15)
... However, I suspect that core outflows from galaxies may happen from time to time, but I also think that they are transient phenomena. Consider the X-ray bubbles of the Milky Way: https://assets.newatlas.com/dims4/default/082ba88/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1400x933+0+0/resize/840x560!/quality/90...

Re: APOD: NGC 253: Dusty Island Universe (2024 Feb 15)
Today's APOD is very nice "classic" portrait of NGC 253 that shows us the nitty gritty of this galaxy: the perfect oval outline of the disk, the yellow inner region, the blue disk, the occasional small pink dots of emission nebulas, and the chaotic jumble of broken dust lanes and dust clo...
