Rendering of spiral arm formation consisting of 512 time steps of 100 million particles (stars) per time step. Rendered using the Manta Interactive Ray Tracer by making each particle a transparent sphere with transparency decreasing with increasing galaxy radius. Color map corresponds to particle speed.
