Harvard astrophysicists unveil Lumina simulation of early universe

Original: Astrophysicists from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian have unveiled Lumina, a high-resolution sim

Astrophysicists at the Center for Astrophysics, run by Harvard University and the Smithsonian, have unveiled Lumina, a high-resolution cosmological simulation designed to model the first two billion years of cosmic history. The simulation integrates gravitational forces, gas dynamics and radiation transport to recreate how the early universe evolved, and researchers say it will help scientists study the formation of the first stars and galaxies.

Why now: The release of a new high-resolution model of the early universe is a notable scientific advance that draws attention from the astronomy community and science enthusiasts.
