Galaxy Collisions Preview
« on: June 04, 2008, 01:45:09 PM »
I wanted to share a screenshot of what you can expect in the next release of Universe Sandbox:

Galaxy Collisions - Where distance is measured in thousands of light years, masses in the millions of suns, and time in the billions of years.

Look for a release in the next few weeks.
