Lumina Simulation Models Early Universe's First Two Billion Years

Researchers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian developed Lumina, a detailed simulation recreating the universe's initial two billion years. This advanced model explores interactions between dark matter, gas, and radiation, illustrating the emergence of the earliest stars, galaxies, and black holes. Lumina will assist astronomers in interpreting data from telescopes like James Webb and Nancy Roman.
