One question for Miguel Aragon, a computational physicist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where he studies the large-scale structure of the universe, galaxy formation, machine learning, data mining, and visualization.
What makes the Milky Way special?
he Milky Way galaxy in itself is not really special. There are many galaxies with the same shape, the same kind of stars, the same mass. What makes it special is where it is located. The Milky Way is sitting near the center of our cosmological wall, a very flat association of galaxies.
