Why
CRISTAL-02's rapid star formation, likely triggered by a cosmic collision, generates powerful winds that blast its gas into space, causing it to run out of fuel.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This discovery challenges previous theories that only supermassive black holes could kill the largest galaxies, suggesting intense star formation from cosmic collisions can also lead to galaxy death. This offers a new explanation for the abundance of dead galaxies observed in the early universe.
