Why
The gas of galaxy CRISTAL-02 is being rapidly blasted into space by a powerful “galaxy wind”, and it may very soon run out of gas, which would stop star formation.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
The discovery of CRISTAL-02, a galaxy observed dying in the early universe, offers a new solution to the mystery of why so many big, dead galaxies existed earlier than expected. This observation challenges previous assumptions about the causes of galaxy death, suggesting that powerful winds from intense star formation, not just supermassive black holes, can kill galaxies.
