Simulation of the orbit of the ultracool subdwarf LSR 1610-0040 around the Milky Way, as visualized using Digital Universe. The simulation goes from 500 million years in the past to 500 million years in the future at a rate of 12 million years per second. In the middle, the motion slows down by a factor of 100 as the star passes by the Sun. Small clusters of stars indicate the locations of globular clusters, while the wire mesh surfaces in the center of the Milky Way indicate the approximate extents of the Bulge and Bar.

Animation credit: Prof. Adam Burgasser (MIT) and the Digital Universe/American Museum of Natural History, with thanks to Brian Abbott for assistance in creating the animation file.

  • I dun get it

  • This isn't ultracool; this is ultraboring.

  • Wirtschaftskrise perifer marginalisiert!

    Einfach galaktisch.

    Video marginalisiert die aktuellen Probleme, mit denen wir uns herumschlagen.

    Eine Sekunde im Film entsprechen dabei zwölf Millionen Jahre in Echtzeit.

  • I like the music ^^
