Where
Stephan's Quintet ·
Why
Interacting galaxies within the Quintet create widespread turbulence that prevents gas from settling down and forming stars.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
The findings indicate that Stephan's Quintet is an evolved group of interacting galaxies where star formation is significantly suppressed due to turbulence.
