Gas that could have collapsed to form stars was instead stripped away as the galaxy moved through the intracluster medium between galaxies. Space may be mostly empty, but a galaxy moving fast enough through it can feel it. This galaxy was observed as part of the wonderful PHANGS-HST. [https://archive.sts... |
