Did you know that our Milky Way Galaxy has shells? These were formed from a head-on collision between the Milky Way and another galaxy roughly 3 billion years ago! Hear about it in a short YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC3NeNbO_qg&t=5s While this result didn't benefit directly from the workunits that our volunteers crunch, it is still work that utilizes the MilkyWay@home software to perform new, interesting science about our Galaxy!
