One twenty-four hour period , we ’ll use images like this waterfall of galaxies to picture out where to refuel our ships with dark energy . That ’s because this computer simulation of millions of galaxies flowing towards the red zona , the area with the highest mass , gives some clew to the localisation and nature of non-white Energy Department and glowering issue . The image show a “ snapshot ” of galaxy in the unconscious process of forming large - scale structures , 10 billion years ago . snap through for details .
The whole motion picture occupies a distance of 100 million light year and this computer simulation “ paints ” the densest areas ruddy . The yellow lines show the intensity of the galaxies ’ velocities as they fall into the highest - density area . The speed of the galaxy ’ rush towards the center of the structure depends on the the balance between dark issue , dark energy and the overall enlargement of the universe of discourse . Astronomers are learn how to valuate this “ infall pattern ” by using a big survey of galaxy at different date of reference . [ European Southern Observatory ]
