Additional FIRE coverage:

Recreating Our Galaxy in a Supercomputer, a Caltech news article on the Latte simulation, with a video featuring FIRE team members Phil Hopkins and Andrew Wetzel:
FIRE simulations are featured in the nationally-released feature-length IMAX film “Voyage of Time” by Terrence Malick, narrated by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. You can see the clips, together with narration by Phil Hopkins and Chris Hayward (who did all the real work to make these), by clicking here

Graduate Student Zachary Hafen Wins Award in the 2016 Northwestern Scientific Images Contest. Hafen’s One Galaxy, Multiple Perspectives image is based on a FIRE simulation and is displayed at several locations in the Chicago area, including in the rotunda of the widely-visited Museum of Science and Industry.Hafen’s image received significant press coverage, including an interview of Science in Society’s Sara Grady on WTTW Chicago Tonight.
