Particle tracks on galaxies
Particle tracks and cosmology. Computer illustration of subatomic particle tracks (white spirals) seen with galaxies behind them. The tracks result from charged particles moving through a bubble chamber containing a superheated liquid. Ionisation of the liquid by the particles causes it to boil, so that tracks of minute bubbles are left in their wake. Each particle makes a distinct track, such as the spirals made by electrons and positrons. Galaxies are independent groups of stars bound together by mutual gravitational attraction. Particle physics has revealed the basic structure of the atoms which form everything in the universe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of particle tracks on galaxies, merging the realms of particle physics and cosmology. In this computer illustration, we witness a mesmerizing display of subatomic particle tracks in the form of elegant white spirals set against a backdrop of distant galaxies. These delicate trails are created by charged particles traversing through a superheated liquid within a bubble chamber. As these particles move, they ionize the liquid, causing it to boil and leaving behind minute bubbles that trace their paths. Each type of particle leaves its own distinct track; electrons and positrons gracefully spiral through space, etching their presence for us to marvel at. Galaxies themselves are celestial wonders - vast collections of stars held together by mutual gravitational attraction. They represent independent groups that contribute to the grand tapestry of our universe. Through advancements in particle physics, scientists have unraveled the fundamental structure underlying all matter in existence. This image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding. As an artful representation blending science and aesthetics, this photograph invites us to contemplate both the intricacies found within subatomic particles and the awe-inspiring vastness encapsulated within galaxies. It is a reminder that even at microscopic scales or cosmic distances, there is profound beauty waiting to be discovered.
