I have to thank @TimJamers for bringing this week’s Geek of the Week to my attention. In a nutshell, it is an interactive program that allows you to explore our solar system, galaxies and the universe. It also allows you to manipulate certain variables and witness how those changes would effect the universe. It is the Universe Sandbox. Longer explanation:
Universe Sandbox is an interactive space simulator for Windows based PCs.Unlike most astronomy software that just shows you what the sky looks like or where the planets are, Universe Sandbox is a powerful gravity simulator. You can add another star to our solar system and watch it rip the planets from their orbits.
The free forever version allows you to explore and discover any simulation. Optionally you can upgrade to to the premium version for unlimited control.
There is a limited free version, or for even more educational fun, you can purchase the full version, either for $19.99 on the Universe Sandbox website or for $9.99 through Steam.
Now go have fun exploring the universe!
