-          <h2>What is this all about?</h2>
-          <p>
-            The Goal of this complete project is to simulate galaxies. So the obvious two steps are: 1. Generating
-            point clouds and 2. simulating the pointclouds that we generated. </p>
-          <p>This all started when Tim Tugendhat invited me to Heidelberg to help visualize the NFW-function.
-            After we made som visualizations, we started generating our own clusters using the
-            <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navarro%E2%80%93Frenk%E2%80%93White_profile">Navarro Frenk White
-            profile</a>. That was so much fun that I quickly started generating more and more stars and optimized
-            the complete process.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            I then started to think about stuff to do with the millions of stars I generated and realized that
-            Simulating the clusters would be a very hard, but informative task to learn new skills.

-          <p>
-            In the aftermath, generating the pointclouds was one of the easier parts of the project.
-            A detailed summary on how the stars are generated can be found in the
-            <a href="http://writeup.emile.space">writeup</a>.

-          <p>
-            The process short version can be explained in the following way: Create a star, test if it should be kept
-            or not, keep it if yes and repeat the process if not. The Process is repeated few thousand times and in the
-            end, a clusted of objects apears on the screen.
-            The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navarro%E2%80%93Frenk%E2%80%93White_profile">Navarro Frenk White
-            profile</a> is used to determine what star is kept and what star is discarded.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            Using this technique, a lot of stars can be generated, and because of all the computations running
-            independently, this whole process scales very well. After containerizing the software generating random
-            stars and sorting "bad ones" out, it can be thrown onto a cluster of computers who generate stars 24/7
