These simulations feature a selection of exoplanet systems included in the Universe Sandbox database. These simulations feature the planets of the Solar System and their moons.

These simulations illustrate each of the constellation sets available.

This includes planetary flybys by spacecraft, solar eclipses, famous comets, etc. Historical simulations are centered around an important event that has occurred in the world of astronomy. the Moon orbited much closer to the Earth?. Physics simulations demonstrate several of the physics simulation features in Universe Sandbox. Each simulation in this category is editable using the pencil icon that appears when you hover over the simulation name. These simulations involve objects randomly placed in orbit around another object: like Earth surrounded by hundreds of moons, random planetary systems, or sixty stars in a chaotic swarm. See the Explode tool for ways to create your own explosions. These simulations show various simulated explosions: the Sun exploding in a supernova, the Moon exploding near the Earth, or the Earth exploding in real-time. Simulations in this category involve planets, moons, asteroids, stars, and black holes crashing into each other. Check in on a live view of the Solar System, find out whether all of the planets can actually fit between the Earth and the Moon, see the nearest 400 stars, and watch the chaos unfold as 200 moons try to orbit around the Earth. This category includes some of the key scenarios included in Universe Sandbox, to give you a broad sample of the abilities of the simulation.
