Major Features
-
Full Featured Interactive n-body Gravity Simulator.
- Simulate a moon orbiting a planet, four galaxies colliding together, or an unlimited number of scenarios.
- It's all to scale and uses real units for measurement: kilograms, meters, seconds.
- Includes 50+ systems, both real and fictional.
- Includes the 8 planets, 3 minor planets, 160+ moons, and hundreds of asteroids.
- Andromeda & Milky Way galaxy collision
- Easy to edit system files let you create an unlimited number of scenario
- 3D Mode for red & cyan glasses (anaglyph stereoscopic)
- Includes support for 3D DLP televisions
- Complete Introduction and included tutorial.
- Includes 10 activities that explain the various controls.
- Easy to edit system files let you create an unlimited number of scenarios.
- Full control of time.
- Speed it up, slow it down, stop it, start it.
- Full control of gravity.
- Increase it, turn it off, triple it, make it negative.
- Multiple Color Modes
- Realistic or Bright Color modes
- View color by velocity or acceleration to help visualize the relative motions of moons and planets.
- Two collision modes
- Bounce: A fun, fictional mode where bodies bounce off of each other like big rubber balls.
- Combine: A more realistic mode where bodies combine into a single body when they collide.
- Rings systems
- Rings are simulated as hundreds of particles and are effected by gravity.
- Includes scale ring systems of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.
- Generate rings around bodies with a single click.
- Grids
- Easily create 2D or 3D particle grids and then warp them with Jupiter sized planets.
- Galaxy Collisions
- Watch galaxies rip each other apart.
- Full sky panoramic view of the Milky Way
- Features Axel Mellinger's amazing photography of the Milky Way.
- Easy to use interface that's fully controllable with the mouse.
- Lots of additional keyboard shortcuts.
