#Universe sandbox 2 making a habitable planet update
We added a Spherical Cow to Universe Sandbox! This refers to a joke that when physicists want to make a problem easier to handle, they sometimes simplify it so much its no longer realistic.Įxperience 100 spherical cows hitting Earth at lightspeed in our new simĮarth & 100 Spherical Cows at the Speed of LightĬheck out the full list of What's New in Update 32.2 Or explore the history of the discovery of all of Jupiters 92 moons in our guide Learn about these new moons in our new simulation On February 3, 2023, astronomers announced the discovery of 12 more moons orbiting Jupiter. Taking off returns you to your previous position instead of in front of the planet. Landing (press "c") on the surface of a planet now always points you toward the horizon. We now know Vulcan does not exist, and general relativity causes the additional wobble, but you can see Vulcans proposed orbit in the new simulation Mercurys orbit was observed to wobble slightly more than predicted, and Vulcan was hypothesized to explain this. In the 1800s, many astronomers thought there was a planet, dubbed Vulcan, between Mercury and the Sun. Thats just under half the length of the United States! Watch one of the closest asteroid encounters ever recorded in our new simulation Explore its path and watch this once-in-a-lifetime event occur over and over with our new simulationĬlose Encounters of the Asteroid KindĪsteroid 2023 BU performed a close pass of Earth (though it posed no threat), only 2,200 km from the surface. The green comet, C/2022 E3 (ZTF), recently passed by the Earth for the first time in 50,000 years. The asteroid says, Phew, that was a close one! The hypothetical planet turns red with anger and ceases to exist.
Youd know that if you were as close to the Sun as people thought you were. The hypothetical planet says to the comet, Why so green? The comet says, Its the radiation from the Sun evaporating the carbon on my surface. Speaking of comets, asteroids, and planetsĪ comet, an asteroid, and a hypothetical planet walk into the Solar System. Watch a green comet pass by Earth for the first time in 50,000 years, see an asteroid swing by Earth in one of the closest ever encounters, and explore a hypothetical planet from the 1800s disproven by Einsteins theory of relativity.
