One of the ways massive stars, those at least 10-times bigger than the Sun, reach their end is in a supernova\u2014an enormous explosion caused by the star\u2019s core running out of fuel.<\/p>\n

One consequence of a supernova is the production of galactic winds, which play a key role in regulating star formation. Although galactic winds have already been observed in several nearby galaxies, a team of scientists has now made the first direct observations of this phenomenon in a large population of galaxies in the distant Universe, at a time when galaxies are in their early stages of formation.<\/p>\n

According to the study\u2019s<\/a> lead author, Yucheng Guo, of the Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon, galactic winds are an important part of the galaxy evolution models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
