This High-Speed Fly-Through Of All The Galaxies In Our Universe Will Make Your Head Spin

Using data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly catalogue - a project that shows where galaxies that have been mapped so far are located in the universe - astronomers from Durham University have created a three-dimensional fly-through.

The galaxy images have been blown-up so they really pop on camera, but the distances are to scale, according to description of the video.

The computer simulation, released by the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, goes along with a study by Australian astronomers to understand the galaxies that populate mostly empty regions in our "cosmic web," the mysterious underlying structure that is believed to dictate the layout of all the stars and galaxies in our universe.

The Australian team says they've found small strings, or tendrils, composed of a few galaxies in the spaces that were previously thought to be empty.
