It was reported that astronomers had discovered expanding "bubbles" of hot hydrogen gas in dwarf galaxies that apparently are caused by the explosions of hundreds of stars collectively blowing matter completely out of the small galaxies. The discovery suggests that some galaxies are dying and tends to confirm conventional theories about star formation. The discovery was based on recent observations at the Very Large Array Radio Telescope (VLA). (W Times, May 24/92; NY Times, May 24/92)
