\nJune 28: Update 23.0.1 is a small patch to fix an issue with tidal heating.<\/em><\/p>\n

Run Steam to download Update 23, or buy Universe Sandbox via our website<\/a> or the Steam Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This update adds brand new galaxies that are much more interactive, accurate, and varied, making it easier than ever to create and customize on a galactic scale.<\/p>\n

Three Types of Galaxies<\/strong>
\nUse the Add tool to procedurally generate a Spiral, Elliptical, or Irregular galaxy and add it to any simulation. Or select from galaxies like the Milky Way, Andromeda, or IC 1101, one of the largest known galaxies.<\/p>\n

Accurate, Data-Driven Motion & Visuals<\/strong>
\nThe motion and shape of the galaxy are now determined by its type and properties. You’ll also see red-yellow elliptical galaxies where the stars are older and bluer spiral arms where the stars are younger and hotter.<\/p>\n

Full Customization<\/strong>
\nAdjust standard properties like mass and radius plus unique galaxy properties like the number of spiral arms and amounts of dust and gas.<\/p>\n
