NGC1569 is a star-forming galaxy. Credit: HST/NASA/ESA UC Riverside astronomers find large-scale winds associated with active black holes in small galaxies suppress star formation. Astronomers…
The blue shading shows the calculated extent of the protocluster, and the bluer color indicates higher density of galaxies in the protocluster. The red objects…
