I made a 3D map of a actual local universe you can fly through using real data from cosmic survey
Hey all. I’ve been working on this for a while and finally put it online, so I’m sharing it here.
It’s called Know the Universe. You fly through the cosmic web: the actual large-scale structure of the nearby universe, with its filaments, voids, and clusters. The galaxies are not procedural or faked. They are ~43,500 real galaxies from the 2MRS redshift survey. I take their RA, Dec, and redshift, convert them to Cartesian megaparsecs with a Hubble-law distance, and that point cloud is what you fly through.
Every dot is a galaxy and we can see up to 1Bn years.
There are a lot of visual settings and shaders to help visualize the cosmic web.
