From the article:
ASTROPHYSICS Astronomers from the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), among others, have peered back 10-12 billion years into the universe and found six galaxies that mysteriously ran out of gas and suffered an unusually early death. The discovery was made possible by an astonishing cosmic phenomenon that gave the astronomers insight into these distant galaxies at an unprecedented level of detail.
