Astronomers have released the FLAMINGO simulation of the universe that gives researchers a fresh way to test how the cosmos formed and evolved.

A simulation of the cosmic web - a vast, three-dimensional “spider web” of gas filaments crisscrossing in the cosmos. Rather than being randomly distributed, galaxies tend to cluster at the nodes of ...

Scientists create the most detailed and accurate simulation ever produced of the first billion years of the universe. The CoDa III simulation shows galaxies forming in the early universe along the ...

In a new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), ancient galaxies are strung along one gargantuan cosmic thread like pearls on an antique necklace. When astronomers peer into the deepest ...

Strands of gas, dust and stars stretch through the cosmos and embed galaxy clusters, influencing their evolution. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here ...

The FLAMINGO project helps scientists explore how galaxies, dark matter and cosmic structures evolved over billions of years.

To develop hypotheses about the structure of the cosmic web, researchers gathered data from 24,000 galaxies and applied algorithms to the data set. Kim Albrecht built a simulation that explores 3 ...

For the first time, astronomers have caught a glimpse of shock waves rippling along strands of the cosmic web — the enormous tangle of galaxies, gas and dark matter that fills the observable universe.

Cosmic rays are one of the greatest challenges for space travel and pose a considerable risk to humans and materials. For the first time on European soil, an international research team in ...

A simulation of the ‘cosmic web’, the vast network of threads and filaments that extends throughout the Universe. Stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters spring to life in the densest knots of this web, ...
