There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

This volume rendering shows the gradual reionization of a typical patch of the universe. The blue regions show the heated and ionized regions around galaxies. These grow as the galaxies grow, eventually merging together to completely ionize the universe. The field of view of the cube is about 200 million light-years, and the calculation shows the first billion years of the universe.
