"Catastrophic event" stopped growth of galaxy

Looks like we got off lightly!?
A "catastrophic event" halted the birth of stars in a galaxy in the early Universe, scientists have said.
The researchers from Durham University's Department of Physics observed the massive galaxy as it would have appeared billions of years ago.
They say the galaxy, which is similar to our Milky Way, exploded in a series of blasts trillions of times more powerful than any caused by an atomic bomb.

Evidence of a galactic war?
