The ALFALFA Sky II : The Thrilling Sequel
Got my colour issues all sorted. For those who missed the earlier posts, this shows the visible light component of 22,935 galaxies from the ALFALFA hydrogen survey - using the actual image of each galaxy, from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Galaxy sizes have been exaggerated by a factor of forty (not five as I earlier reported). More detail in the link below... it's a post from 2013, but I've updated it to include the new data/techniques. The previous version had a poxy 11,710 galaxies, so this one is like, waaay better.

Wow, great job!
ReplyDeleteMade me wonder just how fast you would have to travel to actually get that perspective.
Thanks Bryce Alexander !
ReplyDeleteAbout 1.3 million light years per second... or about 40 trillion times the speed of light. :)
