That's good, but you're not restricted to the Solar System. It's easy to zoom in and out, or click and drag to move your viewpoint in 3D space. Open the 'Solar System' simulation, for instance, and you'll see an animated view of our solar system showing all the planets, the moons and their actual orbits.Ĭlicking near an interesting celestial body displays details like its velocity, mass, diameter, density and more. The program works well as an educational tool. Universe Sandbox Legacy is a physics-based space simulator with some unusual fun extras.
