Fly through of the GAMA Galaxy Catalogue


Fly through of the GAMA Galaxy Catalogue from ICRAR on Vimeo.

"The Galaxy and Mass Assembly catalogue is a detailed map of the Universe showing where galaxies are in 3D. This simulated flythrough shows the real positions and images of the galaxies that have been mapped so far. Distances are to scale, but the galaxy images have been enlarged for your viewing pleasure.
