Galactic Cataclysm: Caption and Credits
Colliding Galaxy Simulation
Collapsing 500 million years into seconds, this supercomputer
simulation shows what happens when two spiral galaxies are pulled towards each
other gravitationally and collide.
This test animation for an giant-screen IMAX movie, soon be
released at a major U.S. museum., was based on the numerical output of an actual
supercomputer simulation performed at NCSA.
