| Welcome to Astroflow. The Cosmic Event Simulator How do astronomers know what is going on with thousands of light years away? After they get a beautiful Hubble Space Telescope image, how do they know what it describes? The Astroflow Cosmic Events Simulator lets you play the same game! Chose one of the Astro Objects below. You'll be wisked off to a cosmic simulator that uses the same computer simulation codes astronomers work with in their reseach. You can drive powerful star winds into space or blast a cosmic jet across an interstellar cloud. By changing the conditions in the simulations try and make your simulation look like a real Hubble Space Telescope image. One way astronomers understand the Universe is by using superfast, supercomputers to SIMULATE it. With a supercomputer an astronomer can explore how gas flows away from a dying star or towards a newly forming one. Good Luck and Happy Simulating! |
