Researchers are diving into a synthetic universe to help us better understand the real one. Using supercomputers at the U.S. DOE's (Department of Energy’s)
This synthetic image is a slice of a much larger simulation depicting the cosmos as NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will see it when it launches by May 2027. Every blob and speck of light represents a distant galaxy .Jun 12, 2024Researchers are diving into a synthetic universe to help us better understand the real one. Using supercomputers at the U.S.
This graphic highlights part of a new simulation of what NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could see when it launches by May 2027. The background spans about 0.11 square degrees , representing less than half the area Roman will see in a single snapshot. The inset zooms in to a region 300 times smaller, showcasing a swath of brilliant synthetic galaxies at Roman’s full resolution.
Then they’ll continue using simulations to explore the physics and instrument effects that could reproduce what the observatories see in the universe. The Roman and Rubin simulations cover the same patch of the sky, totaling about 0.08 square degrees . The full simulation to be released later this year will span 70 square degrees, about the sky area covered by 350 full Moons.
