An amusing little simulator I found

[KuvahMagh]

Its probably a sad commentary on just how little I have to do when I'm not working that I get enjoyment out of inputting random numbers to watch what weird orbital patterns I can achieve... but hey, thats why I'm a Trekkie... lol

I did get a binary system with 2 planets working. Reminds me of those swirly-doodle things where you put your pencil in a hole and make those really neat designs.

Did you know this site had other simulators? I spent most of my class last week wednesday checking out the Lunar lander one, and the laser one. I created a LAZER! beam.

I've gotten it to where I can create a stable laser, but it's not that powerful.
