Virgo Consortium

The Virgo Consortium is a collaborative group of leading research institutions that study the universe using advanced computer simulations. They simulate how cosmic structures like galaxies and dark matter form and evolve over billions of years. By sharing resources and expertise, they aim to better understand the universe’s composition, history, and the forces shaping it. Their work helps interpret astronomical observations and test theories about the universe’s origins and large-scale structure. Essentially, they use digital experiments to explore cosmic questions beyond what we can observe directly, advancing our knowledge of the universe’s fundamental nature.
