Galaxy Simulations As Abstract Art
Not another FLASH simulation today (perhaps tomorrow). This one's a particle-based sim of a star-forming gas blob being hit by a hot wind. Instead of animating it, every frame from the simulation is shown at once, so it shows the particle trajectories.
Gas is white, stars are the very bright hard lines, and dark matter is in green because green is nice.
