Do you want a big trip? As big as the universe? Scientists Will Parr, Dr. Mark Swinbank and Dr. Peder Norberg of Durham University in Great Britain have created a 3D animation that will allow you to make your dream come true. It will take you on a journey through the universe, and you will be sitting on your couch. .
The Galaxy and Mass Assembly Catalog is a detailed map of the universe showing where galaxies are in 3D. This flythrough simulation shows the actual locations and images of galaxies that have been mapped to date. Distances are to scale, but galaxy images have been enlarged for your convenience.
