You ever wonder what would happen if two planets got too close to each other? Or what if one of the planets in our solar system decided to spin out of control towards earth? Well now you can! Bwana did a review of Universe Sandbox for us, and loved it.

Smash planets together, introduce rogue stars, and build new worlds from spinning discs of debris. Explore our solar system in 3D or destroy everything you’ve created with a super massive black hole. Tinker with your creation or sit back and watch the effects of gravity unfold. It’s fun, accessible, and easy to use.

Universe Sandbox is free to try for 60 minutes. After the free trial expires you can continue to open, view, and explore systems, but you can no longer interact with them. Once you buy a license all functionality is restored.

According to Bwana, the possibilities with Universe Sandbox are endless. While it provides great educational information concerning the stars, planets, and solar systems, it also provides endless entertainment with simulations. If you are intimidated by the broad range of options provided, the application provides a “Fun things to do” section, which gives you a quick springboard for powerful simulations in the tool. For example, if you want to see Earth with 200 moons, you can! Or, if you want to create a black hole in the middle of our solar system, you can do that as well in your own sandbox! If you have 3D glasses with you, it supports 3D as well!!
