Visualization of 3D galaxy and quasar data

Recent advances in observatory astronomy have brought in a large volume of high quality data about the very far end of our universe, including galaxy, clusters, quasars, etc. The aim of this project was to develop a visualization of these 3D data for possible inclusion in a digital planetarium proje...
