50 Galaxy Cluster Simulation (beta = 90)--Run C

This movie is a N = 60,000 particle simulation of a single galaxy cluster with fifty galaxies (run C). The luminous galaxy particles are shown in white. The cluster-wide dark matter is shown by the transparent orange particles. All forces are calculated according to Newtonian gravity, and are fully self-consistent (gravitational forces are determined by the distribution of particles).
