This visualization demonstrates how planets and their moons dynamically distort the fabric of spacetime as they move. The grid represents spacetime, and its curvature illustrates gravity's effects according to Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Each planet and moon is represented by its first letter, with customizable orbital trails. Information about each celestial body is displayed next to its name in the index.
Use the sliders to adjust the simulation speed, trail length, and trail opacity. Observe how the spacetime fabric dynamically warps as celestial bodies orbit.
Use the zoom controls to get a closer or wider view of the solar system.
Click the "Start Over" button to reset the simulation to its initial state.
Click the "Freeze Positions" button to stop the planets and display the current date and time.
