Images that show the “Cosmic Dawn” — the formation of the first big galaxies in the Universe 590 million years after the Big Bang — have been produced by scientists at Durham University’s Institute for Computational Cosmology.
The work combined a massive simulation showing how structures grow in dark matter with a model showing how normal matter, such as gas, behaves to predict how galaxies grow.
