In a galaxy far, far away, winds travelling at more than 2 million km/h are wreaking havoc 💨🌌 Swinburne astrophysicist Dr Rebecca Davies has discovered a powerful galactic wind in the early Universe that is blasting away the gas needed to form new stars, effectively shutting down a galaxy's future growth. The discovery could help explain one of astrophysics' biggest mysteries: why so many massive galaxies stopped forming stars and died so early in cosmic history. Could powerful winds like these be the missing piece of the puzzle? Learn more via The Conversation Australia + NZ 👉 http://swi.nu/8hw3u
