Could you build this?
Partial The simulations and UI are buildable with web graphics libraries and an LLM explanation layer, but accurate, curriculum-grade physics and processing of large astronomy catalogues need domain expertise a vibe-coded build may not get right.
What it would actually take: A web app with a 3D/WebGL front end (e.g. Three.js or WebGL shaders) for the galaxy map, plus a data pipeline that ingests public catalogues such as SDSS or Gaia into a spatial index for fast zoom-level queries. The physics and chemistry simulations need numerical methods and subject-matter review by educators or physicists to be correct. An LLM API supplies the explanations, which should be grounded in the simulation's actual output.
