Greedy Teenage Galaxies

A team of astronomers has used the Very Large Telescope to spy on galaxies at dinnertime. This photo shows some of the galaxies that the astronomers observed marked with red crosses. From their observations, they discovered that galaxies in their early teens like to repeatedly snack on gas. But galaxies in their late teens want a much bigger meal and gobble-up smaller galaxies.
