Starburst (originally known as Opal Fruits) is the brand name of a box-shaped, fruit-flavoured soft taffy candy manufactured by The Wrigley Company, which is a subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated. Starburst has many different varieties, such as Tropical, Sour, FaveREDs, Watermelon, Very Berry, Superfruit, Summer Blast and Original.
NGC 4631 mosaic of two HST images; 7.2′x2′ view. NGC 4631 contains a central starburst, which is a region of intense star formation.The strong star formation is evident in the emission from ionized hydrogen [5] and interstellar dust heated by the stars formed in the starburst. [6]

A visual counterpart was detected in images by the Hubble Space Telescope taken on May 13, 2000, at visual magnitude 19.2. [28] Based on the rate of starburst activity in NGC 7469 it has been calculated that the core collapse supernova rate should be 0.8 supernova per year.

Messier 82 (also known as NGC 3034, Cigar Galaxy or M82) is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.It is the second-largest member of the M81 Group, with the D 25 isophotal diameter of 12.52 kiloparsecs (40,800 light-years).
Although supernovae are generally associated with starburst galaxies, only one has been detected within the Sculptor Galaxy. SN 1940E (type unknown, mag. 14) [18] was discovered by Fritz Zwicky on 22 November 1940, located approximately 54″ southwest of the galaxy's nucleus. [19] NGC 253 is close enough that classical novae can also be detected.
The study's aim was to select "an extreme starburst dwarf, the Blue Compact Galaxy Haro 11, with the aim of determining the Lyman continuum escape fraction from UV spectroscopy." [5] The image in the information box above right was made combining data from ESO's Very Large Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. [8]
