Products that do what The impact that made the Moon, 262k particles in a browser tab does

A giant impact simulation in WebGL: two planets of real mass collide under their own gravity — the Theia impact that made the Moon, the splash, the debris disk, and the moon that gathers out of it. In the browser, nothing to install.

    Just for fun and self education, I've built this over a weekend to teach myself why orbits exist, not just show planets going around. Something that was never clearly explain to me in school. It opens with a guided tour that builds the idea up step by step: two bodies and the equal/opposite force, inertia (the Sun is removed and Earth just drifts straight), then "an orbit is falling and continuously missing," cosmic velocities with a little rocket, Voyager 1 & 2's real gravity assists (the clock runs the actual 1977–1989 dates so the planets orbit into their grand-tour alignment and the…

    The concept for metiq.space came after playing Global Magnates with friends and realizing how fragmented live global data is. ships, aircraft, satellites, ports, weather, hazards, infrastructure, cyber, and public datasets all exist, but they usually live in separate tools and maps. The goal was to build one interactive 3D globe where live public data could be visualized by latitude, longitude, and altitude. Surface data stays on the globe, while aircraft, satellites, and other above surface things can be represented in actual 3D space instead of being flattened onto a map. The outcome is an…

    Hello, I am the creator and maintainer of Stellarium Mobile. I have been working in my free time for about a year on this new project Galaxium, that is more about traveling in the universe rather than looking at the sky from Earth. It is still experimental, and at the moment I am not sure what it will become. Feedback is welcome.

    Our B612 Asteroid Institute team launched a demo of ADAM::Impact Probability, a new tool to simulate and visualize potential impact risks from near-Earth asteroids over the next 75 years. Hear from one of our engineers on how it works and how you can use it in the link. You can go directly the impact probability tool at b612.ai but you might want to learn a bit about it first unless you are an astrophysicist already :-)
