  • Abstract
    The research conducted is intended to enhance the way we view and study our solar system and others, by allowing scientists of astronomy, physics, and computer science to accurately simulate celestial systems. The extensible simulator organizes individual groups of celestial bodies, calculates their positions, graphically visualizes their movement using the computed positions, and finally, is extensible, which serves to accommodate additional numerical methods and gravitational functions, body shapes and behaviors, and camera views.
