Extragalactic Atlas Tutorial
Extragalactic Atlas Tutorial
While the topics of astrophysics and cosmology are more complex in the extragalactic realm, the tutorials are less elaborate than those in the Milky Way Atlas. The homogeneity of the data at this scale, where we are limited to discussing galaxies as single objects, puts constrains on the types of data sets we have, as opposed to the zoo of objects one finds in the Milky Way.
Our tutorials will take you on a journey from the Galactic neighborhood out to the edge of our observable Universe. Along the way, we will discuss scale and structure in the Universe. Let's start by exploring our Galactic backyard.
