YSU professor part of team that discovers galaxy collisions
John Feldmeier, YSU assistant professor of astronomy, is part of a team of astronomers that has discovered a high-speed collision between two galaxies in the Virgo cluster. The astronomers use images taken by the wide-field mosaic imagers at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. These collisions provide "a plausible alternative to black holes" in explaining the turning off of star formations.
