Near Miss — Passing Star Simulator
An interactive gravity sandbox that answers one question: can a passing star destroy the whole solar system? Aim a star at the Sun, tune its mass, miss distance and speed, then watch a real symplectic N-body simulation decide the fate of all eight planets — with a live "reality check" on how often such encounters actually happen.

Orbital Atlas — 3D Universe Sandbox
An interactive 3D universe sandbox of the real solar system. Every world orbits at its true distance ratio and is driven by a genuine solution of Kepler's equation — the Sun, all 8 planets, Ceres between Mars and Jupiter, and the far dwarf worlds Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris with their moons. Tap any body to inspect it, scrub through time, and watch Eris crawl at aphelion on its wildly eccentric orbit.
