Galactic Petri Dish - Evolution of the Universe • Science Illustration • NANOGrav • 2022

3D with hand-painted textures: 
Galactic history in a petri dish. From the center outwards: stars and clouds of gas evolve to form spiral and elliptical galaxies, and some quasars.

I don't agree with ArtStation's response to A.I.-generated content. As both artist and art director, I'm only here for human-made art. Although there's now a #noAI tag and updates to policy, it came only after a lawsuit and at the cost of hundreds of hours of work by artists who make this place worth visiting. Find my work elsewhere via the links above.

NANOGrav is “An international collaboration dedicated to exploring the low-frequency gravitational wave universe through radio pulsar timing.” Their “goal is to detect low-frequency gravitational waves and use our measurements to characterize the low-frequency gravitational wave universe.”
