Ultra-Large FLAMINGO Simulations Build a Virtual Universe the Size of 500,000 HD Movies

Astronomers released the FLAMINGO project, one of the largest cosmological simulation datasets ever created, totaling over 2.5 petabytes and designed to model dark matter, baryons, and dark energy across cosmic time. Publicly accessible, the virtual universes help researchers study large-scale structure and galaxy formation, test competing cosmological models, and explore rare objects like massive clusters—aimed at accelerating interpretation of upcoming observations. The data release was submitted to Astronomy & Computing and is available via arXiv.

Astronomers unveil one of the universe’s largest simulated universes for galaxy and dark‑energy studies

The FLAMINGO project released a self‑consistent, hydrodynamical cosmological dataset (over 2.5 PB) that simulates dark matter, ordinary matter, and dark energy across vast scales, enabling study of galaxy formation and rare cosmic events while providing open access for researchers to compare models with upcoming observations.

Ukraine says Flamingo strike hits Russia’s Oreshnik launch complex at Kapustin Yar

Ukraine’s General Staff says a February strike damaged Russia’s Oreshnik missile servicing complex at Kapustin Yar, using domestically produced Flamingo cruise missiles. The attack hit a technical facility, an assembly building, and a logistics warehouse, with ongoing assessments of losses; satellite imagery and OSINT point to damage at the pre-launch Site #105, as part of broader Ukrainian strikes inside Russia.

Ukraine Claims January Strikes Hit Kapustin Yar Hangars Linked to Oreshnik Prep

Ukraine says its January long-range strikes damaged hangar facilities at Russia’s Kapustin Yar missile test site, hitting infrastructure used for pre-launch preparations and triggering evacuations; Kyiv says FP-5 Flamingo missiles and long-range drones from the Special Operations Forces led a prolonged operation through January 2026, with intelligence support from the Black Spark movement. Kapustin Yar remains a key testing ground for the Oreshnik system and has been cited in prior strikes tied to Oreshnik launches from the facility.

Ukraine hits Kapustin Yar with Flamingo missiles, Kyiv claims

Ukraine says its forces damaged a hangar and evacuated personnel at Russia’s Kapustin Yar Oreshnik launch site in January after strikes using FP-5 'Flamingo' missiles, a Ukrainian-made long-range cruise weapon reportedly capable of about 3,000 km.

Supercomputer Study Finds Galaxy Clustering Discrepancies

A new super simulation called FLAMINGO reveals that the universe's observed galaxy clustering is smoother than predicted by standard models, intensifying the ongoing S8 tension in cosmology, which questions whether current theories or measurements need revision.

Ukraine Develops Flamingo Cruise Missiles to Counter Russian Threats

Ukraine's Fire Point is producing the Flamingo cruise missile, with plans to increase capacity to seven per day by October, aiming to bolster Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities against Russia. The missile, which has a range of 3,000 km and can hit deep into Russian territory, represents a significant advancement in Ukraine's military arsenal, potentially changing the dynamics of the conflict. Its production capacity is comparable to Russia's missile output, and it offers Ukraine a strategic advantage by enabling independent targeting within Russia.

Rare Flamingo Sighting on Cape Cod Excites Bird-Watchers

A flamingo was spotted on Cape Cod, potentially marking the first confirmed sighting of a wild American flamingo in Massachusetts. Experts believe the bird may have been displaced by Hurricane Idalia. The Massachusetts Avian Records Committee will determine if the bird is wild.

Unveiling the Origins: Largest-Ever Universe Simulation Holds the Answers

Astronomers are conducting the largest-ever computer simulations of the universe using the FLAMINGO project, aiming to understand how the universe evolved from its beginnings billions of years ago. These simulations include normal matter, dark matter, and dark energy, and have 300 billion particles in a cubic volume of space with edges of 10 billion light-years. The initial results have not resolved the tension between the observed clumping of the universe and the cold dark matter model, but the researchers have found that including normal matter is crucial for accurate predictions. The FLAMINGO data, which is several petabytes in size, has not been made available to the public yet.

Unusual Flamingo Sightings Across the United States

A flamingo has been spotted at Cave Run Lake in Rowan County, Kentucky. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the sighting and believes the flamingo was displaced from the Yucatan Peninsula during Hurricane Idalia. Flamingo sightings have been reported across the southeast and into Ohio. As a migratory bird, it is expected that the flamingo will eventually work its way back south and reunite with other flamingos before attempting to return to its original location.
