As we've recently learned, the ATLAS3D project was able to study 260 individual galaxies and do some very amazing things. By imaging in both red and blue shift, astronomers were able to take stellar measurements and give us a clear picture of galaxy rotation. But looking at a computer generated image gives a picture just like you reading the text in this article no dimension. By superimposing the velocity of the stars over the plane of the image, a new breakthrough in simulation can be made. And its coming straight on for you
