A comprehensive survey of more than 4,000 elliptical and lenticular galaxies in 93 nearby galaxy clusters has found a curious case of galactic “downsizing.” Contrary to expectations, the largest, brightest galaxies in the census consist almost exclusively of very old stars, with much of thei...

A galaxy in the process of being dismembered has been imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The unfortunate victim is having its stars and gas stripped away as it plunges at great speed towards the centre of a massive galaxy cluster. The galaxy has been nicknamed the 'Comet galaxy' because o...
