Why
The galaxy CRISTAL-02 is experiencing a powerful "galaxy wind" that is ejecting gas at twice the rate it converts into stars, leading to its imminent death in cosmic terms.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This discovery offers a new explanation for how large galaxies died in the early universe, suggesting that intense star formation, rather than just supermassive black holes, can drive galaxy-killing winds. It potentially resolves the mystery of why so many dead galaxies were observed earlier than expected by the James Webb Space Telescope.
