Article Here: http://www.quantumday.com/2013/04/sta... Scientists observing 20 galaxies undergoing a starburst noted that they have an ionizing effect on gases as far as 650,000 light years from its center. Ionized gas is a gas that have lost one or more electrons. In a starburst, the electrons are lost when energetic winds from the starburst excites the galactic gas and knocks the electrons out of the atoms within. This animation shows a galaxy undergoing a starburst. The galaxy has messy regions strung throughout its arms that are intensely bright and forming new stars. The winds produced by these star-forming processes can have an incredibly far-reaching effect on their host galaxy. Credit: ESA, NASA & L.
