COSMOLOGY
Cosmic Web
Large Scale Structure — ΛCDM

Interactive visualization of large-scale cosmic structure based on ΛCDM cosmology. Simulates galaxy cluster nodes with NFW dark matter halo profiles, Bézier-curved dark matter filaments with baryon streaming, cosmic voids, and baryonic sheet/wall particles. Quasars (AGN) rendered as high-mass nodes. FBM density field drives node placement via Zel'dovich approximation.

NEBULA PHYSICS
Stellar Nursery Nebula
Radiative MHD · Photoionisation · Shock Physics

Interactive 3D stellar nursery simulating radiative MHD and photoionisation physics. Renders five distinct layers: H-α ionised hydrogen gas (Strömgren sphere), [OIII] doubly-ionised oxygen emission, curl-noise advected dust extinction lanes, protostellar cores with YSO bipolar jets, and Rayleigh-Taylor shock fronts. Uses FBM noise and curl-noise for realistic filamentary dust morphology.

GALACTIC STRUCTURE
Milky Way
Visual Galaxy Explorer

Interactive 3D model of the Milky Way (SBbc barred spiral) with 130,000+ differentially rotating stars. Features realistic O/B/A/F/G/K/M spectral color grading, HII regions, planetary nebulae, globular clusters, Sgr A* accretion disk, relativistic jets, dark matter halo, Solar System 'You Are Here' marker, named spiral arm labels, and Wikipedia-linked hover cards for 30+ objects.

STELLAR DEATH
Type II Supernova
Core Collapse & Stellar Death

Animated 6-phase simulation of a Type II core-collapse supernova. Progresses through pre-collapse stellar onion layers, iron core photodisintegration, neutrino burst (10⁵³ erg), SASI shockwave propagation, heavy-element ejecta nucleosynthesis, and final neutron star remnant formation with relativistic jets. Auto-loops with flash transitions between phases.

Neutron Star
PSR B0531+21 — Crab Pulsar

High-fidelity 3D model of the Crab Pulsar (PSR B0531+21) — a neutron star born in the supernova of 1054 AD. Features a surface shader with polar hotspots and fbm noise, dipole magnetic field lines, relativistic jets, accretion disk, atmospheric rim glow, and an interactive size comparison panel showing the neutron star versus the Sun to scale.

Kerr Black Hole
General Relativistic Visualization

Near-extremal Kerr metric (a=0.998M) rendered with Boyer-Lindquist coordinates. Features Novikov-Thorne accretion disk, Blandford-Znajek relativistic jets, photon spheres (n=0,1,2), and ergosphere frame dragging.

GALACTIC DYNAMICS
Galaxy Collision
Toomre Interaction · Tidal Dynamics · Galactic Merger

Interactive simulation of a Milky Way–Andromeda style galaxy collision using a Toomre restricted three-body approximation. Demonstrates gravitational tidal interactions, tidal bridges and tails, dark matter halo overlap, starburst triggering from gas-cloud compression, and the gradual merger of two spiral galaxies into a single elliptical remnant over billions of years. Individual stellar collisions are effectively absent due to enormous interstellar distances.

SPACETIME PHYSICS
Wormhole
Einstein-Rosen Bridge · Morris-Thorne Metric

Interactive 3D visualization of a traversable Morris-Thorne wormhole — an Einstein-Rosen bridge stabilized by exotic matter with negative energy density (NEC violation). Features a custom embedding-diagram surface shader with iridescent exotic matter sheen, infalling photon spirals with gravitational blueshift, Hawking radiation particle emission, tidal force vector animation, and a curved spacetime grid. Includes 5 color themes, real-time traversal camera animation, and a procedural Web Audio ambient soundscape (40 Hz drone, sawtooth throat hum, white-noise particle shimmer).
