Man, this makes me want to go back and take more furniture design classes. These are all great!

Smash moons into planets, create new stars, and build new worlds from spinning discs of debris. Explore our solar system in 3D or destroy everything you’ve created with a super massive black hole.
You can simulate and interact with:
- Our solar system: the 8 planets,160+ moons, and hundreds of asteroids
- Nearest 1000 stars to our Sun
- Our local group of galaxies
- An unlimited number of fictional scenarios
Tinker with your creation or sit back and watch the effects of gravity unfold. It’s fun, accessible, and easy to use.
The screencap above is from a simulation of two galaxies colliding. If that isn’t awesome, I don’t know what is.
It’s difficult to convey in a two-dimensional image, but you can spin around and fly through all these simulations as they happen. You can even use 3D-glasses if you have them. It’s like this episode of Radiolab put into practice. So good.
The Polish photographers Szymon Roginski and Kasia Korzeniecka worked together to create these images for the “O Mia O” Spring Summer 2009 collection of Ania Kuczynska. First they photographed the collection which they then cut up and transformed into 3d objects. The result was photographed again and used for the “O Mia O” collection.
If you’ve ever had to make precise three-dimensional objects out of paper, you get a respect for the craft of it VERY quickly. Nice straight edges, no creases or dents and perfect geometric shapes. Nice work, dudes!

It might not look like much on the table, but I love the way it glows on top of the light.
