Biggest ever cosmos simulation

According to the bbc/news Astronomers have used supercomputers to re-create how the Universe evolved into the shape it is today.
The simulation by an international team is the biggest ever attempted and shows how structures in the Universe changed and grew over billions of years.

The Millennium Run, as it is dubbed, could help explain observations made by astronomers and shed more light on the Universe's elusive dark energy field.

intrested ??? or just bored to f**k like i was read more here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4600981.stm

While we are on the subject of space.

Here is a cool website I found a couple a years ago, it's a java based 3D representation of most of earth's satellites and their current location, It's real-time and the site is Hosted by NASA.

Anyway here it is, the application will launch when you arrive at the site.

Enjoy

Probably far from all of them, if you count the numerous secret satellites that goverments, especially that of USA has in it's repertoire . You'd get quite a different number, at least that's my guess.
