Astronomy 10 learning goal Q12.2
This movie is not just a zoom-in shot! Note that as the universe expands, the distances between galaxies increases, while the size of the galaxies remains constant (due to gravitational interactions). This can be illustrated during the movie by covering one of the galaxies with the mouse cursor, and showing that that the size of the galaxy does not change relative to the cursor.
