A distant galaxy is being strangled by the cosmic web
A dwarf galaxy located 100 million light years away is experiencing a significant loss of its star-forming gas due to the influence of the cosmic web. As the galaxy traverses this vast cosmic structure, it appears that the web is siphoning off the essential gas needed for star formation. This phenomenon highlights the complex interactions between galaxies and their environments, shedding light on the processes that govern galaxy evolution and star formation in the universe.
