- 1New simulation shows how a massive galaxy cluster forms●Compressed evolution of 15 cubic Megaparsecs, where a ~2e15 Msol cluster of galaxies forms by present-day. The right pan
Astrophysicist Franco Vazza shared a cosmological simulation tracking the formation of a galaxy cluster of roughly 2 quadrillion solar masses within 15 cubic megaparsecs, compressed to show evolution up to the present day. The visualization maps baryonic mass, gas temperature and magnetic field strength along the line of sight, offering a detailed look at how such cosmic structures grow.
- 2Astrophysicist wraps up physics poll with self-corrected question●RE: https:// mastodon.social/@franco_vazza/ 117491261301259160 The poll is over, and it was it seems a very easy one: 90
Astrophysicist Franco Vazza closed a physics quiz on Mastodon, reporting that 90% of respondents answered correctly. He admitted the final question was poorly worded: it should have read that insulators have I=0 only in static conditions, and said the high success rate partly reflected that mistake. Followers engaged with the result and the clarification in replies.
