Watch a Time-Lapse That Shows the Evolution of the Universe A new simulated time-lapse, called Illustris, showcases how the universe formed over 13 billion years. The cosmic simulation models the large-scale changes in the structure of the universe, tracing 13 billion years of evolution starting 12 million years after the Big Bang, explains Miriam Kramer. The computer model, called Illustris, is special because it covers a wide area — a cosmic cube that is about 350 million light-years on each side--and also focuses on some details that are difficult to calculate while looking at such a wide swath of the universe.
