Simulation: A Disk Galaxy Forms
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
How do galaxies form? Since the universe moves too slowly for us to watch, astronomers use computer simulations to find out. This simulation from the IllustrisTNG collaboration tracks gas from the early universe until today. As the simulation begins, ambient gas falls into and accumulates in regions of high gravity, eventually forming a disk galaxy.
