First glimpse into birth of the Milky Way

Super computer ran for eight months. On a regular computer, it would have had to run for 570 years.

Lets sit back and see how many people post a link on the net saying that it is a video of the creation of the milky way, and totally missing that it is a graphic simulation. I can't believe the numbers of folks who took the NASA graphic of the black hole swallowing a star and thought it was a real video of the event.
