Description
Aether Gravity is a free orbital sandbox. You place stars, planets, neutron stars, and black holes, launch them, and watch gravity, collisions, and supernovae play out. It runs in the browser and as an Android app. There is no account, no ads, and the simulation stays on your device. You can start from a measured Solar System or TRAPPIST-1, or generate a random one.

Could you build this?
Yes A 2D/3D N-body orbital gravity sandbox running locally on the web and Android can be implemented using standard physics integration algorithms (like Verlet or Runge-Kutta) in Canvas or WebGL. Coding assistants are well-suited to generating standard physics simulation math and interactive UI controls.
