Let me tell you a whale of a tale about this amazing galaxy! So many supernovae have exploded near its core that a powerful “super wind” of radiation is shooting out in all directions, shrouding the whole thing in a vat of hot, x-ray-emitting gas! Look closely and you might just be able to see hints of it.
