Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey

A Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey (GAMA) is a survey of galaxies that scientists use to learn about how galaxies form and evolve over time. Scientists use telescopes to take pictures of distant galaxies at different times. By looking at these images, the scientists can create a map of the galaxies and their position in the universe. They can also use the data to measure the amount of matter that makes up each galaxy and any changes in mass over time. This helps scientists better understand how galaxies form and change as they age.
