ERIS: World's first realistic simulation of the formation of the Milky Way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VQBzdcFkB7w)

This video in the above link shows a simulation by the University of Zürich, of how our galaxy was formed. To do it on a your home PC would take about 570 years to complete :eyepop:
