GALAXY(1)

NAME
 Galaxy - a stellar simulation program

SYNOPSIS
 galaxy

DESCRIPTION
 Galaxy simulates the motion of stars under the influence of gravity.
 Create a random field of stars to begin with, then watch the stars
 move as they are accelerated by their mutual gravitational attractions.
 Observe how the attractive forces accelerate individual stars and send
 them careening in new directions. Observe how very large groups of
 stars can develop into spiral galaxies over time.
