Monster Galaxies Lose Their Appetite With Age
Our universe is filled with
gobs of galaxies, bound
together by gravity into
larger families called
clusters. Lying at the heart
of most clusters is a

When Galaxies Switch Off: Hubble's COSMOS Survey Solves 'Quenched' Galaxy Mystery
Some galaxies hit a point in
their lives when their star
formation is snuffed out,
and they become "quenched".
Quenched galaxies in the

How Does Hydrogen Metallize?
Hydrogen is deceptively
simple. It has only a single
electron per atom, but it
powers the sun and forms the
majority of the observed
universe. As such, it is
naturally exposed to the

Largest Magnetic Fields in the Universe
Numerical simulations show
for the first time the
occurrence of an instability
in the interior of neutron
stars that can lead to
gigantic magnetic fields,
possibly triggering one of
