Powerful simulations reveal how the first stars changed the universe - Science Daily
Researchers are using extraordinarily detailed computer simulations to reconstruct one of the most transformative periods in cosmic history: the era when the first stars and galaxies began to emerge. The work is part of the MEGATRON project, led by researchers at the University of Bath in the UK with collaborators at the University of Chicago in the US and the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris in France. The project is designed to explore how the earliest stars and galaxies illuminated a previously dark Universe and began producing and dispersing the chemical elements that later became essential ingredients of planets, life, and the world around us.
