7The volume rendering showcases the density of neutral hydrogen gas, combined with a transparency mask to highlight areas with substantial ionizing radiation within the Thesan radiation-magneto-hydrodynamics simulation. The side-facing perspective reveals the uneven ionization patterns in the intergalactic medium prior to the completion of reionization. As the simulation concludes, only the self-shielded, high-density filaments remain non-ionized.
