AI creates first 100-billion-star simulation of Milky Way

The simulation was generated more than 100 times faster than previously done. REPRESENTATION PIC/GETTY IMAGES

Researchers combined artificial intelligence (AI) with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually, across 10,000 years of evolution.

Their AI learned how gas behaves after supernovae. The result is a simulation hundreds of times faster than current methods.

The team achieved this milestone by pairing AI with advanced numerical simulation techniques.

Their model includes 100 times more stars than the most sophisticated earlier simulations and was generated more than 100 times faster.
