Created by researchers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, the simulations represent a monumental advancement in simulating the formation of the first galaxies and reionization - the process by which neutral hydrogen atoms in space were transformed into positively charged, or ionized, hydrogen, allowing light to spread throughout the universe. The stunning video is part of a large suite of simulations described in a series of three papers accepted to the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

It’s a simulation of the early universe, a time after the Big Bang when the cosmos transformed from a place of utter darkness to a radiant, light-filled environment. Slowly, more and more amass, lighting up the screen in large chunks and clusters.īut this is not a video about insects.

It looks like fireflies flickering in the darkness.
