Dwarf Galaxy / merger experiment
« on: March 17, 2012, 08:22:17 AM »
So i took a galaxy, and then put a smaller object in it 10% mass and watched it all get distorted :) This would simulate a dwarf galaxy in the process of merging with a larger one. The dwarf galaxy spirals around the bigger one. Kinda.

The images should be in order chronologically.







This is another experiment i did



hmmm is this how spiral galaxies might form?


galactic nebula?
