A supercomputer simulation by UC Berkeley and RIT scientists of the collision of a dark matter-dominated dwarf galaxy with the Milky Way over the past billion years. The collision generated ripples in the gas (blue) that were used to pinpoint the position of the dark-matter galaxy today. The right panel shows how the stars in the galaxy reacted to the collision.
