SASI participated in World Record Stargazing Attempt Event. That was cool!
And … <drumming> we did it!
I’m a member of SASI (Sutherland Astronomical Society) since 2017.
Some of the useful links.
My talk on 1 February 2018 was about The Bolshoi Simulation.
The Bolshoi simulation is a simulation of the evolution of the large-scale structure of the universe that has been performed in 2010 on the Pleiades supercomputer and has been acknowledged as the most accurate cosmological simulation. It is based on Lambda-CDM model of the universe, this model is a standard (as per today) parametrisation of the Big Bang model. The simulation’s approximation to reality obtained for a volume of space which is about 1 billion light years across.
