The black hole is killing this galaxy and keeping it dormant, by cutting off the source of 'food' the galaxy needs to form new stars.
In the early universe, most galaxies are forming lots of stars, so it's interesting to see such a massive dead galaxy at this period in time.
Telescope data revealed that the black hole at the center of the galaxy was forcing it to expel previously undetected dark clouds of gas.
This galaxy's state demonstrates an unexpected scenario about how galaxies can meet their end, differing from previous turbulent simulations.
