MEGATRON is a good guy!?! Well, at least to cosmologists who are using this simulation to transform our understanding of the universe's first stars.

Ultra-detailed simulations are showing how the first stars lit up the dark Universe and seeded space with elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron. The MEGATRON project could bridge JWST observations ...
