Sixty Symbols

Milky Way's Twin - Sixty Symbols (2011x25)

Air date: Jun 27, 2011

A galaxy dubbed NGC 6744 is being hailed at the Milky Way's galactic twin... Find out why? More physics and astronomy at http://www.sixtysymbols.com/ In anticipation of people asking, more about Professor Merrifield's "sculptures" can be found at http://www.crystalnebulae.co.uk/ --- And I'm at pains to point out The Professor did not ask me to mention the site... I asked him about the sculptures because it was a case of an astronomer's hobby (which I knew about) giving a personal perspective to this "news" about NGC 6744.
