TL;DR Summary

Scientists have resolved a longstanding mystery regarding the distribution of galaxies in the Local Supercluster by using the SIBELIUS simulation. The study found that the segregation of elliptical and disk galaxies within the supergalactic plane occurs naturally due to environmental differences, with dense regions fostering mergers and the formation of elliptical galaxies, while isolated areas allow disk galaxies to maintain their structure. This finding supports the standard model of dark matter and enhances our understanding of galaxy evolution.
