A great Sixty Symbols video on the spiral galaxy NGC 6872 recently named the ‘biggest spiral galaxy’. It  features Professor Michael Merrifield from the University of Nottingham. He’s awesome, I like him a lot. I wish I had the opportunity to learn astronomy from him. That would have been most awesome.

BAM! Feel the science awesome!

And have a look at the bonus video below of a simulation that shows how our galaxy – the Milky Way – might have evolved, to multiply that awesome.

Are you feeling the science awesome yet?
