Most realistic simulation yet of the formation of the Milky Way
This wonderful movie shows the most realistic simulation yet made of the formation of the Milky Way. The simulation is named after Eris, the Greek goddess of strife and discord, chosen to reflect decades’ worth of vigorous debate on this … Continue reading
Flying across Galaxy Clusters with Google Earth: Deep Color Images from SDSS
Color images of distant, faint galaxies interesting to astronomers because the color enables them to estimate the redshift, a key astrophysical parameter in understanding how galaxies are organized in the Universe. Recently, Jiangang Hao and Jim Annis of Fermilab co-added … Continue reading
