Figure 2. Distribution of about 1 million galaxies observed by Sloan Digital Sky Survey (top left) and a zoom-in image of the thin rectangular region (bottom left). This can be compared to the distribution of invisible dark matter predicted by supercomputer simulation assuming the cosmological model that our AI derives (top right). The bottom right shows the distribution of mock galaxies that are formed in regions with high dark matter density. The predicted galaxy distribution shares the characteristic patterns such as galaxy clusters, filaments and voids seen in the actual SDSS data. (Credit: Takahiro Nishimichi)
