PLACEMENT OF THE LOCAL CLUSTER OF GALAXIES
-
1. Create the 12 galaxies from Hand Out
C
using cotton and wire.
-
2. Hand all 12 galaxies with fishing line in a high space refering to this illustration as a guide for coordinating their placement to each other.
(figure available in print form)
With the Milky Way Galaxy as the center plane to work from, all those galaxies noted with a
dotted
line would hang lower and all the rest of the galaxies noted with a
solid
line would hang above the Milky Way. Scale their distance from the chart on Hand Out
C
. Then it is just a matter of triangulation to hang each galaxy in it’s appropriate orientation to the Milky Way.
