Scientists use computer simulations which is built to help in the detection of dark matter and to broaden their understanding of it. Computer simulation has generated a 'Synthetic Universe' that will help in predicting the future universe that will be unveiled to the next generation of super-telescopes.

This simulation is built to understand, explore and study numerous possibilities of dark matter distribution and interactions. These simulations provide important details about how dark matter interacts on cosmic scales.

This stimulation consists of around 4 million computer-generated images that mirror the universe from the Roman Space Telescope, named after astronomer Nancy Grace Roman, is a NASA observatory mission set to launch in 2027 and the other one is Rubin Observatory located at the summit of Cerro Pachón in northern Chile.

There are two biggest mysteries present in the universe that are dark energy and dark matter and this can be unveiled with the help of these telescopes. This news was released on July 12.
