In the next release of universe sandbox, I believe that this photo should be used for the milky way, or something similar besides the rendition.
-
That is what scientists now think it looks like. Spiral barred galaxy.
-
Ohhh... beautiful! :o ;D
Red purple? ;D
Although, who knows what it looks like :P

I noticed that, too.
It should be edited, to look less active, since the red and purple indicates star formation.
We should be more brownish and a bit red since thats the color you see when looking at the Milky Way.

That's a great image and I'd be happy to add it to the next version of Universe Sandbox.
Do you know what the actual name of this image is?
And in order to distribute it, I also need to know the source to make sure that there aren't any legal restrictions on this image.

Actually no..... See near the center there is a brown haze? That indicates old stars. The outer part correctly interprets the color since new stars are forming as the gasses condense.

I'm not sure of the name, but if you want to find it, type in milky way galaxy and search the pages, you should find it if you are using firefox.

Found it:

And it's copyright free...
Thanks.

Your welcome.

That's a very beautiful picture. If this is what our galaxy looks like, I'm no longer embarrased of it being a barred spiral. :)

Since we live in the Milky Way we aren't able to get above it to get a good photograph.
This Artist's conception of the Milky Way galaxy is based on there two images:

Yeah I noticed it sort of looked like the Whirlpool galaxy.

Welcome to the forums ff2!

I'll only replace it as the default if I think it's better (and I may remove the red coloring).
Either way the plan is to let you choose from all the available images when you create a customized galaxy.
And yes... Welcome.

Open these links to easily compare the galaxy versions:
Old version (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/236084main_MilkyWay-full-annotated.jpg)
New version (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=749.0;attach=588;image)
The new version has a smaller central bar. :)
-
Wow... :o
-
What about this? Note that it is in Vivid Mode.
-
What is that galaxy behind the Milky Way improved? It looks like an elliptical galaxy..
I like inverted stuff, so I inverted the Milky Way (you can see structures)..

It's probably what they believe the hidden galaxy next to us looks like.
-
Probably.
