Space Engine – the universe simulator

Posted by in categories: computing, space

SpaceEngine is a realistic virtual Universe you can explore on your computer. You can travel from star to star, from galaxy to galaxy, landing on any planet, moon, or asteroid with the ability to explore its alien landscape. You can alter the speed of time and observe any celestial phenomena you please. All transitions are completely seamless, and this virtual universe has a size of billions of light-years across and contains trillions upon trillions of planetary systems. The procedural generation is based on real scientific knowledge, so SpaceEngine depicts the universe the way it is thought to be by modern science. Real celestial objects are also present if you want to visit them, including the planets and moons of our Solar system, thousands of nearby stars with newly discovered exoplanets, and thousands of galaxies that are currently known.

All of the Eskimos met at the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit and together they asked for NASA’s focus. In the end, they managed to get the publicity they wanted, and with it, they carried out a deadly premonition. They claimed that the atmospheric patterns of the earth are increasingly shifting, being changed by emissions to the extent where we’re not going to have much longer on this planet if we don’t change our way. The Sun is no longer rising from where it is meant to or so they say, and they state that the day no longer seems usual.

Supercomputer turns back cosmic clock

Posted by in categories: space, supercomputing

Astronomers have tested a method for reconstructing the state of the early universe by applying it to 4000 simulated universes using the ATERUI II supercomputer at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). They found that together with new observations, the method can set better constraints on inflation, one of the most enigmatic events in the history of the universe. The method can shorten the observation time required to distinguish between various inflation theories.
