For what it's worth, I own the first version of this and while it's interesting, it doesn't grip me in the way a game needs to. It's something you mess around with for a bit, enjoy, then forget. Might be really useful in trying to create a universe for a fiction, say, but I feel you need some personal motivation to play this (I didn't find my initial 'that's interesting and cool' was enough over time).

I wonder if this can simulate the view of the sky from a planet&#x27;s surface, given an interesting planetary system. I&#x27;d like to simulate what the day&#x2F;night phases look like on the namesake planet of Kim Stanley Robinson&#x27;s &quot;Aurora&quot; that I have just read... the moon orbiting a super-earth itself orbiting Tau Ceti.<p>Or for that matter, the planet in some science fiction novel (can&#x27;t remember the name) that orbits in some weird trinary (or higher) system and only has nightfall once a century (triggering a social breakdown everytime it occurs).

I don&#x27;t love how the preview was done with the kinds of things I&#x27;d probably try in the first few hours.<p>I <i>would</i> love seeing what a couple hundred (or more) hours devoted to this could create.<p>It&#x27;s kind of like the carnival games -- there needs to be a person showing me how &quot;easy&quot; it is, to suck me in.

My favorite feature of Universe Sandbox is completely silly. It&#x27;s the light pulse. You can send out a pulse at the speed of light and watch it expand and overtake other bodies.<p>It&#x27;s really nifty for visualizing just how slow light speed really is in a cosmic sense.

Is the simulation accurate enough to simulate complex starting scenarios, for example the scenario of the planetary migration: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Formation_and_evolution_of_the_Solar_System#Planetary_migration" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Formation_and_evolution_of_the...</a><p>&gt; <i>According to the nebular hypothesis, the outer two planets are in the &quot;wrong place&quot;. Uranus and Neptune (known as the &quot;ice giants&quot;) exist in a region where the reduced density of the solar nebula and longer orbital times render their formation highly implausible. The two are instead thought to have formed in orbits near Jupiter and Saturn, where more material was available, and to have migrated outward to their current positions over hundreds of millions of years.</i><p>I don&#x27;t expect that it get exactly the current situation, but at least that it&#x27;s possible to see something similar.

If this had oculus or some other VR support I would be in 100%. I love an N body physics sim, especially one with nice graphics, so I would pay dearly to be able to experience it at full scale. It&#x27;s a lifelong dream.

Can you create a focused, high intensity gamma ray burst and blast a planet with it? What about sending a white dwarf careening through our solar system?

Beautiful beautiful program. Some of the preset scenarios are great (i.e. galaxy&#x27;s colliding, Jupiters moons)<p>(also, often on sale on Steam)

This is freaking amazing
