Space mystery: Boyajian's Star is not alone as astronomers discover dwarf star neighbour

A distant galaxy has been caught in the act of shutting down.The galaxy, called CQ 4479, is still forming plenty of new stars. But it also has an actively feeding supermassive black hole at its center that will bring star formation to a halt within a few hundred million years, astronomers reported January 11 at the virtual meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

Astronomers find the youngest, fastest spinning ‘magnetar’ yet

For the first time, astronomers have definitively spotted a flaring magnetar in another galaxy.These ultra-magnetic stellar corpses were thought to be responsible for some of the highest-energy explosions in the nearby universe. But until this burst, no one could prove it, astronomers reported January 13 at the virtual meeting of the American Astronomical Society and in papers in Nature and Nature Astronomy.

The first magnetar flare detected from another galaxy was tracked to its home

How are galaxies able to keep forming stars and planets? Astronomers from Texas Christian University are using the Green Bank Telescope to reveal more about this process, studying high-velocity clouds that are being pulled into our Milky Way galaxy by its gravitational pull. 
Stars and planets require large amounts of gas to form, and galaxies can run out of this cosmic building material un
