What is causing galaxies in the Virgo Cluster to die?

Some galaxies die young.

A galaxy is an immense structure of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter, all held together by mutual gravity. Stars are typically the main source of visible light from galaxies, and in most galaxies we see stars are being born from clouds of gas and dust. That guarantees that those galaxies will still shine for many billions of years.
