Supplementary Video

This computer animation visualizes the dark matter distribution of the simulated universe at the present epoch, in a slice of thickness 15 Mpc/h. A zoom over several decades in length-scale onto one of the many rich clusters of galaxies is shown, highlighting the morphology of structure of the universe on different scales as well as the large dynamic range of the millennium simulation. (To play this high-resolution movie on Windows or Apple computers, you may have to install the `divx'-codec, available for free at www.divx.com).
