For example, in the default Solar System simulation, increase the mass of the Sun and see how it increases its gravitational influence and pulls in the planets. Try changing a property and seeing how it affects your simulation. To view properties for any object, right-click on it, or click on it once and then click on its mini-info panel on the right side.

Universe Sandbox allows viewing and editing dozens of properties for every object in a simulation. Learn more in the Add Tool tutorial: Home > Tutorials > Add Tool

Then try adding moons, rings, and asteroids. Your planet will automatically begin orbiting your star.

Click in the simulation to add your star.

Click Add in the bottom bar and select a star.

Here's a simple list of steps to get you started: You can learn more about some of these in the exoplanet simulations in Universe Sandbox.Ĭustom simulations can be very simple or very complex, and can vary widely, but a good place to start is with creating your own star system. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered in the past two decades thanks to advances in telescope technology that allow us to see farther beyond our Solar System. An exoplanet is any planet that is outside of our Solar System, which means it orbits another star. These simulations focus on real exoplanet systems that have been discovered by astronomers. Because of this, some Solar System simulations include, for example all planets and their major moons, and others will include all planets and other types of Solar System objects instead of moons. For performance reasons, a simulation that includes every known solar system object will not run well on most hardware. Solar System simulations are all variations on our Solar System that include different sets of objects. This includes planetary flybys by spacecraft, solar eclipses, famous comets, etc.įictional simulations are inspired by situations or worlds that are described in books, TV, movies, other video-games, etc. Historical simulations are centered around an important event that has occurred in the world of astronomy. Below are some of the categories of simulations you will find. You can filter the list by selecting a category. Universe Sandbox includes dozens of simulations to explore.Ĭlick Home > Open to browse a list of included simulations.

These will show you the basics of the interface, how to use various tools and settings, and how to control and understand the Simulation Speed. Supernova a StarMake a star evolve by cranking up its age or mass, then watch a supernova unfold.Įxplore Historical EventsRide along with the Juno and New Horizons spacecraft, or view a total solar eclipse.Before doing anything else, try going through the tutorials in Home > Guides. Or move the Earth farther from the Sun and freeze the entire planet.

Model Earth's ClimateWatch sea ice grow and recede with the seasons because of the tilt of the Earth: change the tilt and change the seasons. Spruce it up with moons, rings, comets, or even a black hole. Real science, real physics, no supercomputer required.Ĭollide Planets & StarsEpic, mind blowing collisions of massive planetary bodies that leave behind molten craters.Ĭreate Your Own SystemsStart with a star, then add a planet. Simulate GravityN-body simulation at almost any speed using Newtonian mechanics.

Universe Sandbox includes the desktop version and a VR mode with support for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch, and Windows Mixed Reality. It merges real-time gravity, climate, collision, and material interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet.

#UNIVERSE SANDBOX 3 SIMULATOR#

Universe Sandbox is a physics-based space simulator that allows you to create, destroy, and interact on an unimaginable scale.
