Simulation: A Disk Galaxy Forms
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Computer simulations help us understand how galaxies like the Milky Way form. This simulation shows hydrogen gas, depicted in green, accumulating in regions of high gravity over billions of years. Numerous proto-galaxies form, spin, and begin to merge. Dark matter is also present in the simulation, though it is not shown visually.
