astro_jcm, Need to blow off some steam? You're not alone –– galaxies sometimes do that too. Ok, not steam per se, but still.
This is NGC4383, observed with ESO's Very Large Telescope in #Chile. This nearby galaxy is undergoing a burst of intense star formation that is ejecting huge amounts of gas out of the galaxy, seen here as red filaments. 1/2
