Explosive Simulation Of Galaxy Formation Revealed by NASA

A new simulation released by NASA’s Ames Research Institute reveals a stunning vision of the evolution of a galaxy. Blue influx gases, white stars and red satellite galaxies are shown moving thousands of miles per second into massive collisions that eventually form a galaxy roughly the same size as our Milky Way. The supercomputers at Ames’ Advanced Supercomputing facility in Silicon Valley rendered 12.5 billion years of galaxy formation into a single minute.
