Zooming in on the starburst. The widest view in the image above spans many tens of degrees on the sky, showing the location of Messier 82 just over the ladle of the Big Dipper. The inset images show progressively magnified telescopic views, anti-clockwise from the bottom. The first two insets are false color visible light photographs. The one on the top left is in the infrared, and represents the highest magnification (about a factor of one thousand with respect to the widest field).
