A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

Understanding the formation and evolution of the centers of galaxies is one of the most intriguing challenges in astrophysics. The new study aims to unveil the physical processes that led to the ...

The effects of space weather extend out across our entire solar system, but this is a simulation of where everything starts: the sudden, violent, emergence of a "flux rope" out of the sun's magnetic ...

The simulation was designed to replicate real-world scenarios that would play out on Mars.

ORLANDO — As a relatively new service, the U.S. Space Force has a unique path to forge when grappling with how the evolving world of training and simulations will help it achieve its missions, a ...

ORLANDO, Florida — How do you train for a war in an environment where war has never happened and operators can’t train? You simulate it. But when digital and simulated environments are so heavily ...

NASA scientists have reached a breakthrough in computer modeling that allows them to simulate what gravitational waves from merging black holes look like. The three-dimensional simulations, the ...

The Space Force wants better virtual training simulations that mimic real-life threats to better hone guardians’ skills, a top defense official said. The Space Force began the “commit” phase of its ...

It looks like fireflies flickering in the darkness. Slowly, more and more amass, lighting up the screen in large chunks and clusters. But this is not a video about insects. It’s a simulation of the ...

Weather forecasting is a powerful tool. During hurricane season, for instance, meteorologists create computer simulations to forecast how these destructive storms form and where they might travel, ...
