Really cool and I love educational apps like this. One suggestion is to show the rotation of the earth as the particles come together to form it rather than a static image.

#53Very cool!
Just one note about the moon orbit around the Earth, it is far more subtle; almost just orbiting the Sun alongside Earth. I can't explain better than minute physics, highly recommend: youtube.com/watch?v=KBcxuM-qXec

#56This is fun! It would be cool to get new updates that model ongoing/future satellite launches or Artemis missions.

#58It feels like touring space, and I like that it seems like a creative work. Regarding the part after the tour, my only regret is that I wish the camera had a bit more freedom. Also, when I select Mars or another planet, it seems to sometimes show the other planet instead.

#59This is so cool and the music is so calming to listen to as well. I did turn off the AI voice :)

#60I'm curious: does generating the planet textures slow down older devices, and how seamless is the switch between the two physics modes?
