According to one astronomer

Quote :
"The collision will rip apart the fabric of both galaxies."


I didn't even know there was fabric in the galaxies.

well i just wikipedia'd it, and the US milky way is equivalent to the european mars bar. The european milky way does not have caramel.


But NCSU is the US, so that's what we are going by.

see, i told you no caramel...

so you guys have never had a non-US milky way (i.e., without caramel)???

damn y'all are missing out.

so if the US milky way has caramel, it ain't much different from the US mars, is it?

I honestly don't have a clue what a mars bar is, and I'm fat so I would know.


Do they still sell them?

^^^

WAIT, there is no Mars bar in the US?

This is getting weirder than I thought!

I have to go to work now, but I am gonna throughly research this when I get back tonight, and then present my scholarly findings here.

Until then... SAVE THE CHILDREN... THE GALAXIES BE COLLIDING!!!

It's true! And if that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is.

I think we need an international working group to standardize the names and ingredients of chocolate bars

this is fucking confusing

"To Rotate along the x and y axes:
click and drag inside the viewport.

To Zoom (or Rotate about the z-axis):
hold the Shift key and drag inside the viewport.

Green Centered
centers the view in on the green (main) galaxy, allowing the viewport to move with it.

Friction
turns on dynamical friction, calculated using a Chandrasekhar-like analytic implementation. This option will allow galaxies to merge.

Big Halos
makes the (unseen) dark matter halos four times bigger and more massive

You can change:

-Peri: the distance of closes approach [in kiloparsecs].
-Red Galaxy mass: the mass of the Red (companion) galaxy [in terms of the Green (main) galaxy's mass, ie 1=equal mass].
-Galaxy theta, Galaxy phi: the inclination and slew of the primary galaxy in the orbital plane [in degrees].
-Companion theta, Companion phi: the inclination and slew of the companion galaxy in the orbital plane [in degrees].
-Number of Stars: the total number of stars in the simulation, divided evenly between galaxies. The smaller the number, the faster this applet will run; the bigger the number, the cooler the simulation. That's life... "
