Looks stable, right? Now fling an asteroid or two into it.

Oh god.

The planet.

It's somehow more massive than the star.

Then again, "star" isn't quite the accurate name. For purposes of the simulator, a "star" is just a static planet. Still.

Exactly. Especially when you have a mass of 1000000 in the planet:

Code: Select all

You have to zoom out to get a meaningful fling, and it's more like the asteroid is bouncing off a moving star by this point.
