Computer simulation of matter forming into
galaxies. The first picture is the furthest point back in time,
redshift 3, the second picture is a mid-point and the third picture
simulates the structure at redshift zero, the present day. Higher
resolution images are available behind each link, but are not huge. A
single bigger simulation is available here.

The galaxy map produced by the 2dF Galaxy
Redshift Survey. Each dot is a
galaxy. Earth is at the centre of the 'bow-tie'. Red areas are more
dense,
blue areas less dense. Image by Paul Bourke, Swinburne University

2dF Data Fly-through movie
A visualisation of a trip through the Universe based
on data from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The galaxies are shown in
their
actual positions in space. The fly-through is a collaborative project
of
Swinburne University of Technology's Centre for Astrophysics and
Supercomputing
and the Anglo-Australian Observatory.
2dF movie version1
and version2.

2dFGRS cone plot. The distribution of
galaxies revealed by the 2dFGRS. Each dot is galaxy. The Earth is
at the centre of the 'bow-tie'. The wedges are views stretching out of
our Galaxy towards the North and South Galactic Poles.
