SUMMARY
Galaxy Formation is a multi-platform educational app depicting how dark matter particles in the universe clump together over billions of years to form things like stars, planets and galaxies. The app does this with a lite, real-time simulation of thousands of n-body particles that are attracted by gravitational forces that form galaxies when combined.
