“#This is how stars are born<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

How are stars made? Why do they form in clusters? Why does it take so long? Why are some stars larger than others? Finding the answers to these questions is no small challenge.<\/p>\n

It takes millions of years to make a star. That means we can\u2019t just stake some cameras out in space and wait to compile the time-lapse footage. Basically, we have no way of watching actual stars grow from inception.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why astrophysicists rely on simulations to try and figure out what\u2019s really going on in the cosmos. The principle is simple: we know what a fully-grown star looks like, so we can use math and modeling to sort of backwards-engineer a star to its genesis.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t like rewinding a VHS tape. We\u2019re literally talking about math at astronomical proportions.<\/p>\n

In the quest for a better simulation, scientists are pushing the limits of technology<\/a> through the use of supercomputers and cutting-edge machine learning systems.<\/p>\n

A team of researchers from Northwestern University, the University of Texas, and the California Institute of Technology recently published a research paper detailing what they call the world\u2019s largest, most realistic simulation of star formation ever.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called \u201cStar Formation in Gaseous Environments\u201d (STARFORGE)<\/a>:<\/p>\n
