Enormous supernova explosions, gamma-ray bursts from distant galaxies, the violent birth of stars, and the incredible consequences of collisions between galaxies or black holes: These are some of the most extreme and mysterious events in the universe, yet our largest telescopes and satellites glimpse only their dim afterglow.
That’s why astronomers use the world’s largest supercomputers to transform theories and formulas into animated 3-D simulations of explosions, collapses and collisions. The computer simulations help astronomers verify their theories—and they provide us with this gallery of phenomonal images.

the link to the photo gallery is faulty, it instead sends you to another post about some one dropping anchor on the trans-atlantic phone line.

Astronomers are using the world's largest supercomputers to transform theories and formulas into animated 3D simulations of black holes colliding, stars being estetik born, and gamma-ray bursts blowing everything else away.
thanks.
