The Galaxy Leaving a Trail of Gas 200,000 Light-Years Long | Space For Sleep

The Galaxy Leaving a Trail of Gas 200,000 Light-Years Long is the central question of this episode, approached through the evidence, measurements, and competing interpretations behind it. How does A Trail Longer Than Fifteen Milky Ways connect to Anatomy of a Spiral, what An Ocean Between the Galaxies changes about the investigation, and why the boundary of the question remains difficult to define? A quick note: the visuals in this video are illustrations built to accompany the science, not real photographs or footage of these events.
