2024 Total Solar Eclipse<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Watch the Moon completely block out the Sun across parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada in our simulation of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse. Check it out under:
Home > Open > Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024<\/strong>

Chaotic Collisional Aftermath<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Immerse yourself in chaos as gas clouds expand and rock fragments collide in the aftermath of collisions. We’ve updated our particle system to preserve performance while simulating fuller, more realistic collisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Custom Habitable Range<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Customize the habitable temperature and atmospheric pressure of your planets for more unique vegetation and city lights coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Highlights<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Explore the chaos of the fictional planetary system of Trisolaris from The Three-Body Problem<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>The number of objects gravitationally interacting makes it impossible to predict the planet’s orbits, called the three-body problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All gasses in a planet’s atmosphere now contribute to its color and opacity instead of just the 4 gasses with the most mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An object’s material composition now just shows the list of materials currently in the object by default. We\u2019ve also added an Add New Materials button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The object properties panel has been greatly optimized, making it faster to open and switch objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completely swap one material on a planet for another with one tap. What would Earth look like if you switched out all the water for methane?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This update is brought to you by our completely new build system, which automatically creates different versions of Universe Sandbox whenever one of our team members updates the code it\u2019s built on, allowing us to test and release new features even faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
