Watch the boiling surface of a star, then set off a supernova and light up your worlds (before your planets are vaporized anyways). Massive stars now leave behind a neutron star or black hole when they end their life with a bang, and much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super(nova) Lighting<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Supernovas now brilliantly light up space as they explode and boil away your planets. Be careful looking at them without your Space Goggles, they\u2019re extremely bright before they realistically fade as they expand and cool down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examine the boiling surface of a star. Cells called stellar granules<\/a> are created when currents of plasma bring bubbles of superheated materials from the interior to the surface. Star surfaces are too bright for the human eye to see any detail, so we\u2019ve used false colors to make these granules visible. Find it under
View > Perception > Star Surface Detail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massive stars that go supernova now leave behind a remnant. For stars between 8 and 20 times the mass of the Sun, the remnant is a neutron star. Stars over 20 times the mass of the Sun leave behind a black hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASA\u2019s Lucy spacecraft<\/a>, named after the Lucy fossil<\/a>, passed nearby asteroid Donaldjohanson, named after the fossil\u2019s discoverer, on April 20, 2025. This flyby was a test run before Lucy begins its main mission studying the Trojan asteroids<\/a> that share Jupiter\u2019s orbit. Check out our simulation of the encounter under

You can now smoothly undo the deletion of a large number of objects at once with Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac), and they\u2019ll even have their trails regenerated. You can also undo launching objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
