I was looking up virtual worlds on Wikipedia before, as I’m curious to know what other worlds are allowing building. Apart from Active Worlds , I didn’t think that there was anything much. Suddenly there’s a new one, called Open Life , although it actually uses the Second Life viewer to log onto their hosted world. I thought I’d give it a look, and the picture above shows it as is right now.

I try to keep up with the latest in 3D virtual worlds, but new stuff keeps popping up all the time, so no doubt I will miss stuff. I'm posting a page to keep track of it all. Just a definition.
This is where Universe Sandbox succeeds brilliantly: players experience godly power to create or destroy, while almost unavoidably learning something about the physical properties of our universe . Using the vast range of variables and tools at your disposal you can create some enormously convoluted displays of physics, bending cosmic laws to your will... bit-gamer I’ve seen some pretty wonderful interactive programs that allow you and your family to explore the vast regions of the universe , but nothing nearly as enthralling as Universe Sandbox. I work in a planetarium in Dayton, Ohio... [ Universe Sandbox] is a real hit... especially when we up the gravity and destroy the entire system.

Celestia: Home
Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. All movement in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across.
Explore the 3D universe model map
This applet shows a true 3D map (atlas or model) of stars and other objects in the Milky Way and thousands of other galaxies near or far away. You get the 3D effect when you turn the universe around as a ball by dragging it with the mouse . "True" means that positions of stars and galaxies are correct (but sizes are not). Changing to one or several other files, turn the universe around and do some zooming is fine. But there are many other possibilities. To get explanations and use them all take time to visit the Large Structures Applet .
Large Structures Applet
Most orbits in solar system are (almost exactely) ellipses, and there's a Java utility to draw them: drawoval in the Graphics calss. There is no standard Java utility to draw parabolas or hyperbolas. Moreover all ellipses are of finite size, this is not the case for parabolas and hyperbolas. So when you want to draw the hyperbolic trajectory for a spacecraft or the (nearly) parabolic trajectory for a comet you have two problems: find the algoriths and decide what part to draw. I adapted fast and well-written algorithmes by A.AW Active Words the first and oldest on the net
