Buried an interesting fact at the bottom --
This is seen as a ring, but likely a coil aligned with our viewpoint.
I don't know much about astronomy, but that fact changed how I played with the idea in my head.
- stoneman24 3y agoYes, I might be able encompass how a set of galaxies evolve into a ring structure but what process would end up with the galaxies in a coil configuration (viewed end on). To my mind, the coil structure is the bigger headline, a bit buried in the BBC article. I’ll try to get and read the AAS paper at the weekend, perhaps that will help me.
- Keysh 3y agoThis was a presentation at a conference; there’s probably no paper to read (yet, anyway).
- steve1977 3y ago> what process would end up with the galaxies in a coil configuration (viewed end on). Something that has both a linear and an angular momentum or spin while pushing things (galaxies in this case) away? I’m not a physicist in any way, so I might use terms incorrectly, but I hope the point got across.
