Scientists have found evidence of a “catastrophic event” they believe was responsible for halting the birth of stars in a galaxy in the early Universe.

The researchers, led by Durham University’s Department of Physics, observed the massive galaxy as it would have appeared just three billion years after the Big Bang when the Universe was a quarter of its present age.
