Galaxy growth seen through different lenses
Public DepositedIn this video of simulated galaxy formation there are three panels, each showing the same scene from a different perspective. The leftmost is a view of interstellar gas, the coldest (blue) of which will eventually form into stars like the Sun. In the middle panel, which shows what the Hubble Space Telescope might see, this cold star forming gas appears as dark streaks. The right panel is an impossibly (in our universe) unobscured view of newly formed stars. These perspectives show the detailed process by which an explosive and turbulent galaxy grows into a spiral disk like the Milky Way.
