Listed here are software packages useful for conducting scientific research in astronomy, and for seeing, exploring, and learning about the data used in astronomy. Package Name Pro
This List of Cosmological Computation Software catalogs the tools and programs used by scientists in cosmological research. In the past few decades, the accelerating technological evolution has profoundly enhanced astronomical instrumentation, enabling more precise observations and expanding the breadth and depth of data collection by several ...
Universe Sandbox is a series of interactive space sandbox gravity simulator educational software video games.Using Universe Sandbox, users can see the effects of gravity on objects in the universe and run scale simulations of the Solar System, various galaxies or other simulations, while at the same time interacting and maintaining control over gravity, time, and other objects in the universe ...
Gravity is a software program designed by Steve Safarik [1] to simulate the motions of planetary bodies in space. Users can create solar systems of up to 16 bodies. Mass, density, initial position, and initial velocity can be varied by user input. The bodies are then plotted as they move according to the Newtonian law of gravitation.
KStars is a free and open-source planetarium program built using the KDE Frameworks.It is available for Linux, BSD, macOS, and Microsoft Windows.A light version of KStars is available for Android devices.
Celestia also does not simulate gravity. For example, a near-Earth object approaching the Earth will not be deflected by the Earth's gravity unless the person who defined the NEO's trajectory for Celestia included that effect. Some moons do not cast shadows on their planet during eclipses. This is because irregularly shaped objects do not cast ...
Skyglobe is an astronomy program for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows first developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s and sold as Shareware. [1] It plots the positions of stars, Messier objects, planets, sun and moon. [2] [3]
An N-body simulation of the cosmological formation of a cluster of galaxies in an expanding universe. In physics and astronomy, an N-body simulation is a simulation of a dynamical system of particles, usually under the influence of physical forces, such as gravity (see n-body problem for other applications).
