Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive galaxy sandbox for exploring the possible future of the Milky Way and Andromeda, plus other galaxy encounters.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.
For
People curious about galaxy dynamics and interactive astronomy
Worth noticing
The simulation exposes transverse velocity, dynamical-friction strength, tracer count, and speeds up to 200 million years per second.

Field notes

The interface exposes both presentation settings and model inputs, separating visual changes from gravity and trajectory recomputation. Its default Milky Way–Andromeda view reports a 2.51-million-light-year separation and a 109.3-km/s closing speed, while alternate tracer counts trade mobile friendliness against detail. Shared links preserve settings and camera state, although framing can vary with screen shape.
