Thanks, Google !

Oh, thank you Google translate for this gem :

Using numerical simulations, Dr. Taylor tried to investigate the possible mechanism of their origin and confirmed the popular notion that some clouds may be slapped by remnants from galaxies during their close intercourse.

I'm never going to look at those numerical simulations in the same way again.

What stops galaxies from forming stars ? Normally I'm most interested in this for objects which have hardly any stars at all : ultra dif...
