Explore the Universe With SpaceEngine
Windows: I’m sitting in Las Vegas as I type this, and there is little that makes you want to get off the face of the earth faster than facing a bunch of loud, screaming bros looking for the next sweet bar to fill up. on Coors Light.
Sitting here in my hotel room and hearing people running around the hall screaming, I thought of an app perfect for a little heavenly Zen: SpaceEngine . It’s completely free and gives you a great way to fly around the universe and see interesting things that you rarely see with the naked eye (or with the naked eye attached to a huge telescope).
Just look at this:
With SpaceEngine, you’re one Matthew McConaughey (and calming talking robot) from Interstellar. Flying through the app reminds me a bit of Eve Online in the sense that it’s super fun to explore space and see what’s in there, and you’ll feel like a total badass when you stumble upon something amazing. Well, at least as cool as you can feel flying in space on your computer.
SpaceEngine’s description says it best:
“Billions of galaxies, each filled with billions of stars. Each star has its own unique planetary system that can be visited. Volumetric galaxies and nebulae are displayed in real time. Real scales and distances, from rocks on the surface of the planet to incredibly huge space voids: you never imagined how huge the universe really is. “
After youdownload the SpaceEngine itself , make sure youhave all the official fashion, to make your flight more beautiful (and realistic). Then turn the headlights low in your room,pop it on and take off.
