Recreating the stars of the Milky Way individually was, for decades, an unattainable challenge. Now, a team of researchers from Japan and Spain presented the first simulation that accurately represented more than 100 billion stars in a 10,000-year model. The breakthrough, reported on Saturday, November 15 in the Proceedings of the International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, marks a milestone for scie…
AI Reveals Milky Way’s Black Hole Spins Near Top Speed
AI has helped astronomers crack open some of the universe s best-kept secrets by analyzing massive datasets about black holes. Using over 12 million simulations powered by high-throughput computing, scientists discovered that the Milky Way's central black hole is spinning at nearly maximum speed. Not only did this redefine theories about black hole behavior, but it also showed that the emission is driven by hot electrons in the disk, not jets, c…
AI Cracks Galaxy Simulation
Scientists have achieved a breakthrough that seemed impossible just months ago, they have simulated our entire Milky Way galaxy down to each of its 100 billion individual stars. By combining artificial intelligence with supercomputer power, researchers created a model that captures everything from galactic arms to the explosive deaths of individual stars, completing in days what would have taken conventional simulations 36 years. This fusion of …
Scientists recreate 100 billion stars in a virtual Milky Way for the first time
Scientists have achieved something that once seemed nearly impossible: they have created the first computer simulation of the Milky Way that represents more than 100 billion individual stars. This massive model follows the galaxy’s behavior over a period of 10,000 years and was made possible by combining artificial intelligence with some of the world’s most […] The post Scientists recreate 100 billion stars in a virtual Milky Way for the first t…
"Using AI, we were able to create the first accurate digital simulation of the Milky Way galaxy, tracking billions of stars over 10,000 years of evolution," the researchers said.
The representation reproduces the galaxy's internal dynamics, with gravity, fluids, chemical processes and supernova explosions, to an unprecedented resolution.
