The stream of stars is ten times larger than the Milky Way, and flows between a pair of galaxies separated by a distance of 300 lightyears within the Coma cluster.

For nearly 50 years, astronomers have struggled to spot stars within the Magellanic Stream, and failed.

Published in the prestigious journal Nature Geoscience, their research is the first to establish a direct link between plate tectonics and the onset of ice ages through the creation of carbon-sequestering smectite.
