Using a new simulation, Johns Hopkins University researchers have reconciled predictions about neighboring galaxies with what has been observed by astronomers and high-powered telescopes. The results ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has again completed a pursuit thought to be almost "impossible" by humans. It creates a Milky Way simulation showcasing the progress of more than 100 billion individual ...

Astronomers who simulate galaxies do not always get the same result, even when they start from identical conditions. New ...

A galaxy may look calm and stable from far away, but new research suggests it can actually behave in surprisingly chaotic ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may arise from several very different evolutionary events. Bursts of star ...

Billions of years ago, a young spiral galaxy began to grow in a crowded part of the universe. It pulled in gas and small ...

In collaboration with the US' Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers from Maynooth University in Ireland have unveiled a new computer simulation that mirrors early universe conditions, ...

This animation shows the simulated evolution of a galaxy over 200 million years. While the simulations look very similar with and without the machine learning AI model, the AI model performed 4 times ...

This simulation shows both how stellar bars form (left) and the bar-driven gas inflows (right). Stellar bars play an important role in galaxy evolution by funneling gas into the central regions of a ...
