Universe Sandbox: Sterne und Galaxien selbst bauen und simulieren

Universe Sandbox ist ein Simulations-Programm für Sterne und Galaxien. Das 31 MB große Windows Programm erlaubt die Erstellung und Simulation von eigenen Konstellationen aus Planeten, Sternen und Galaxien. Dabei lassen sich sämtliche kosmischen Parameter verwalten wie Gravitation, Massedichten, Zeit und vieles mehr. Selbst schwarze Löcher lassen sich einbauen und simulieren.

Wer noch nicht fit ist im Erstellen eigener Galaxien, der kann an einer Vielzahl von vorkonfigurierten Systemen herumspielen, wie z.B. unserem Planetensystem oder einer Kollission von Milchstraße und Andromeda-Galaxie…

Einige Features:

• Full featured n-body gravity simulator.
  • Simulate a moon orbiting a planet, four galaxies colliding together, or an unlimited number of scenarios.
  • Uses real units for measurement: kilograms, meters, seconds.
  • Automatically checks for updates so you’ll always have the latest version.
• Includes 30+ systems, both real and fictional.
  • Includes the 8 planets, 3 minor planets, 160+ moons, and hundreds of asteroids.
  • Easy to edit system files let you create an unlimited number of scenarios.
• Complete Introduction and Tutorial built in.
• 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 color or Bright Color modes
  • View color by velocity or acceleration to help visualize the relative motions of moons and planets.
• 3D mode for red & cyan glasses (anaglyph stereoscopic mode)
• 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.
  • Check out the ring systems of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune.
  • Generate rings around bodies with a single click.
• 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 keyboard shortcuts.
