The Most Advanced Universe Model To Date.

Novel computational methods have helped create the most information-packed universe-scale simulation ever produced. The new tool provides fresh insights into how black holes influence the distribution of dark matter, how heavy elements are produced and distributed throughout the cosmos, and where magnetic fields originate. Led by principal investigator Volker Springel at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, astrophysicists from the Max Planck Institutes for Astronomy (MPIA, Heidelberg) and Astrophysics (MPA, Garching), Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) developed and programmed the new universe simulation model, dubbed Illustris: The Next Generation, or IllustrisTNG. Mapping out the ways galaxies evolve in the simulation offers a glimpse of what our own Milky Way galaxy might have been like when the Earth formed and how our galaxy could change in the future, he says.

ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY: M106. Image Credit: NASA, ESO , NAOJ, Giovanni Paglioli; Assembling and Processing: R. Colombari and R. Gendler. A swirling disk of stars and gas, M106 is dominated by blue spiral arms and red dust lanes near the nucleus, with the core glowing brightly in radio waves and X-rays where twin jets have been found running the length of the galaxy. It is one of the closest examples of the Seyfert class of galaxies, where vast amounts of glowing gas are thought to be falling into a central massive black hole. It is 23.5 million light years away, spans 60 thousand light years across, towards the constellation of the Hunting Dogs (Canes Venatici).

IMAGO DEI: Igorot is the collective name of several Austronesian ethnic group who inhabit all the six Philippines provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region: Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, and Mountain Province, as well as the adjacent province of Nueva Vizcaya. Their culture is well-preserved because they have defended their land against the Spaniards. The Igorots may be roughly divided into two general subgroups: the larger group lives in the south, central and western areas, and is very adept at rice-terrace farming; the smaller group lives in the east and north.

THE FLAG OF POLAND: The flag of Poland, officially adopted in 1919, consists of two horizontal stripes of equal width, the upper one white and the lower one red. White and red were officially adopted as national colours in 1831. They are of heraldic origin and derive from the tinctures (colours) of the coats of arms of the two constituent nations of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, i.e. the White Eagle of Poland and the Pursuer of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a white knight riding a white horse, both on a red shield.
