Galaxies change so slowly that they appear fixed on the sky in the form of frozen beautiful nebulae lit by billions of stars. Computer simulations enable the astronomer's dream of seeing them evolve before their very eyes. When sped up so that millions of years pass in moments galaxies are dynamic places, swirling vortices where stars are constantly being born and explosively dying.

银河系的变化如此缓慢，以至于它们看起来像是被数十亿颗恒星照亮的冻结的美丽星云，固定在天空中。计算机模拟实现了天文学家亲眼目睹它们进化的梦想。当加速到数百万年的瞬间，星系是动态的地方，旋转的漩涡，恒星不断诞生和爆炸性死亡。
