Galaxy Evolution Tracking Animation
How did the universe get to be so lumpy? This simulation from NASA shows a hundred million light-years of space, starting 20 million years after the Big Bang. Gravity pulls matter into galaxies, and galaxies pull into clusters. The simulation compresses 13 billion years of cosmic evolution into a few minutes.
