This project aims to understand the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy from its birth to the present. Astrophysicists try to understand the production of the elements over cosmic time, using telescopes and satellites costing billions of dollars. This project will calculate the evolutionary history and detailed nuclear processes in stars of all masses and compositions. When coupled with dynamical models for stars in the Milky Way, this project will categorise how the composition changes with time, thus extracting the maximum understanding from the wealth of data to be delivered in the next few years.

该项目旨在了解银河系从诞生到现在的化学和动力学演化。天体物理学家试图使用耗资数十亿美元的望远镜和卫星来了解宇宙时间内元素的产生。这个项目将计算所有质量和组成的恒星的演化历史和详细的核过程。当与银河系恒星的动力学模型相结合时，该项目将对组成如何随时间变化进行分类，从而从未来几年将提供的丰富数据中提取最大的理解。
