Cosmic Void Outreach¶

🔭 Gravitational Lensing Visualization¶

Step into the world of Einstein’s general relativity with the Gravitational Lensing Visualization! This interactive, browser-based tool lets you explore how massive cosmic structures—like galaxy clusters and voids—warp the light from background galaxies in real-time. Toggle between physics models and watch as light bends, stretches, and distorts, revealing the invisible gravitational pull of the universe.

Created by Nico Schuster, this visualization is a powerful educational resource, simplifying complex astrophysics into an intuitive, hands-on experience. Perfect for classrooms, public talks, or anyone fascinated by the cosmos!

🌌 Cosmic Web Explorer¶

Dive into the Large-Scale Structure (LSS) of the Universe with the Cosmic Web Explorer! This interactive, browser-based simulation brings the cosmos to life, showing how primordial matter fluctuations collapse under gravity and cosmic expansion to form a breathtaking network of voids, filaments, and halos—all in real-time.

Developed by Nico Schuster, this open-source project is more than just a visualization: it’s a window into the dynamic evolution of our universe. Whether you’re an astrophysicist, educator, or simply curious, the Cosmic Web Explorer offers a unique way to engage with the mysteries of cosmic structure formation.
