A Starburst Galaxy is a galaxy with an exceptionally high rate of star formation, compared to other galaxies.

Galaxies usually have a burst of star formation after a collision or close encounter between two galaxies.

Because of the rate of star formation and the amount of available hydrogen, starburst galaxies are presumed to be temporary.
