TL;DR Summary

A team of scientists from Magellan Ltd. has created a "digital twin" of the Titanic, showing the wreckage of the doomed ocean liner with a level of detail that has never been captured before. The project yielded more than 16 terabytes of data, 715,000 still images, and a high-resolution video. The researchers used two submersibles to map "every millimeter" of the wreckage as well as the entire three-mile debris field. The new images have effectively removed the ocean water, allowing the wreckage to be viewed in "extraordinary detail."
