Unraveling the Mystery: Physicists Explain the Missing Spiral Galaxies in the Supergalactic Plane

Astrophysicists have discovered why spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, are largely absent from the Supergalactic Plane. The dense galaxy clusters in this region lead to frequent interactions and mergers, transforming spiral galaxies into elliptical galaxies. In contrast, galaxies outside the Plane can evolve in relative isolation, preserving their spiral structure. The findings, based on supercomputer simulations, provide insights into the distribution and evolution of galaxies in our local universe.
