At a distance of 3.5 Mpc, M82 is the closest strongly starbursting galaxy. As a result, it is the best laboratory for studying the details of the superwind, from its base in the star-forming regions to its terminus, where it interacts with the local intergalactic medium. Our deep (466 ks) observation of M82 with the Chandra ACIS-S allows an unprecedented view of the morphology of the X-ray emission in relation to the cooler gas that may shape the hot flow. The imaging spectroscopy provides a detailed view of the ionization state and abundance evolution within the wind, though imperfectly modeled non-equilibrium emission and multiple emitting components along the line of sight make interpretation equivocal.
