The 'Sleepy' galaxy in the early universe furiously gave birth to stars, but after 300 million years it fell asleep. A record-breaking hydrogen dip in its glow showed that not all bright early galaxies become giants—some doze off and turn into dwarfs.

A runaway supermassive black hole leaves a superheated gas tail visible from Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope clocked its escape velocity at 954 km/s, revealing that such giants can be flung from their galaxies.
