Summary

Story summary

COLIBRE simulation project advances galaxy formation by modeling cold gas and dust needed for star formation.
Results show the standard cosmological model explains galaxy growth from the early universe to today, aligning with James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations.
However, the Little Red Dots mystery remains unresolved and will require further research.
The findings, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, describe a virtual universe resembling our own.
