• Cosmological Simulations • Flying Through a Milky-Way Like Galaxy • Merging with an LMC-Mass Dwarf 11.2.2020 This simulation has a merger near present-day with a dwarf galaxy companion. This shows a mock three-color image (u/g/r bands) of what this galaxy would look like in visible light wavelengths. Blue regions are young star clusters which have blown away the gas and dust out of which they formed. Red regions are obscured by large amounts of dust. The duration of the movie follows the last

Galactic Collisions: Did you know that galaxies can collide and merge in a cosmic dance of awe-inspiring proportions? Galactic collisions are rare and spectacular events that occur over millions of years, profoundly impacting the structure and evolution of the universe. Let’s delve deeper into this fascinating phenomenon: What is a Galactic Collision? A galactic collision is a process where two or more galaxies come close to each other due to gravitational forces, eventually overlapping and merg
