So last month I was bored and decided to have some fun by coding some space related stuff. I took 5 space related topics but I have added 2 of them here since the rest are still in work in progress. I have been so much in to Space and Astronomy recently and then I wrote this simply to understand what happens and how it happens. These are my codepens
- How a satellite/asteroid/comet changes it speed and trajectory using the help of a planet or any other object with a gravitational force.
- Saturn's rings using real gravitational physics. The rings are actually small particles moving at high speed held together by the gravitational force but I keep the trails to look like there are more particles there. There are lots of properties to adjust on the codepen. Feel free to check it out.
The code is a little unoptimized for now so I am not adding the codepen embed here but here is the link to check it out https://codepen.io/SoorajSnBlz/pen/Vwprmdv

Cool :)
This is so cool! Love how it's just force * mass to create this effect!
Thank you :) Yeah just a bunch of simple math and boom we have it
