This galaxy simulation can fit so many stars and gas particles in it
Simulating an entire galaxy is not easy if you want your result sometime this century. But today’s paper brings us a neat trick that might just help speed things up.
Smooth like cosmic butter: How AGN destroy molecular gas clumps in galactic nuclei
Today’s bite zooms in on nearby galaxies to understand how they impact future stellar nurseries and (maybe) suppress star formation.

Citizen scientists can make important contributions to the study of galaxies (like the discovery of new gravitational lenses!), and their work can also be used to train better machine learning models.
