Single 100-Galaxy Cluster Simulation--Run H

This movie is a N = 250,080 particle simulation of a single galaxy cluster with 100 galaxies (run H). The luminous galaxy particles are shown in white. The cluster-wide dark matter is shown by the transparent blue particles. All forces are calculated according to Newtonian gravity, and are fully self-consistent (gravitational forces are determined by the distribution of particles).
