Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments (EAGLE)[2][3]
The Millennium Simulation
This N-body simulation used more than 10 billion particles to trace the evolution of the matter distribution in a cubic region of the
Universe over 2 billion
light-years on a side. The first results that were published in 2005 in an issue of
Nature, shows how comparing such simulated data to large observational surveys can improve the understanding of the physical processes underlying the buildup of real galaxies and black holes.
