Cosmic winds may threaten galaxies
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope observed the galaxy merger CRISTAL-02, which existed about a billion years after the Big Bang.

This galactic wind could serve as a natural regulator of galaxy growth, illustrating how early galaxies may have quickly expanded before running out of star-forming material.
