Gravitation & Astrophysics

Available

Build solar systems, slingshot probes, and watch Kepler's laws emerge.

Gravity is the universe's architect. These simulations run true N-body dynamics — no scripted orbits — so Kepler's laws, tidal effects and gravitational slingshots emerge from Newton's law of gravitation alone. Students can build a planetary system, break it, and read the conservation laws that survive.
