Vast Gas Outflow Detected in Distant Galaxy, Polluting Space

A massive gas outflow, spanning one-fifth of the Milky Way’s diameter, has been discovered in the distant galaxy NGC 4383. This outflow, driven by stellar explosions, is ejecting vast amounts of hydrogen and other elements at over 447,000 miles per hour. The phenomenon, detected by the MAUVE survey, provides insights into the process of chemical pollution in galaxies.
