Kapan memakai Galaxy Tidal Tails 3D Explorer

Use this explorer when you want to see how galaxy encounters make tails, and skip it when you want a free-form gravity sandbox or a single galaxy.

  • Classroom demos of tidal tails and interacting galaxies
  • Showing why prograde, comparable-mass passages make the longest tails
  • Previewing the future Milky Way and Andromeda merger

This is an educational visualization - a simplified restricted N-body with no gas or dark halo, scaled for clarity.

Walk the controls in the step-by-step guide, or compare options in vs alternatives. Open the Galaxy Tidal Tails 3D Explorer.
