summary

This article discusses the creation of the first-ever complete virtual model of the observable universe. Scientists have combined various data sets, including observations from telescopes and satellite missions, to construct a highly detailed computer simulation of the known universe. The model includes over 700,000 galaxies and provides insights into the distribution and structure of matter on a cosmic scale. The article highlights the significance of this achievement for improving our understanding of the universe and advancing research in cosmology and astrophysics.
