This captivating video takes you on a journey into the intricate BlueTides universe simulation. Mirroring the renowned Powers of Ten video, each progressive step delves 10 times deeper than its predecessor. The initial frame encompasses a staggering 200 million light-years, while the concluding fourth frame covers a mere 200,000 light-years, showcasing two magnificent galaxies. Researchers have utilized this simulation to explore the characteristics of galaxies with quasars – luminous galactic cores fueled by the accretion of supermassive black holes.
