SpaceEngine - wow, this space simulation game is amazing

[Verahta]

Check out this 'trailer' (make sure to put on HD), this looks like the most amazing space simulation game I've ever seen and had to share.

It uses real NASA data as well as astrophysics and science to simulate space travel, exploration, and the universe! Everything from black holes and gravity wells to comets, asteroids, planetoids, planets and their geography, atmospheres and even inhabitable planets in the "goldilocks zone". The thing even simulates light and how our eyes would perceive light reflecting off one planet and hitting another.

Anyways, here is the bad ass trailer:

That's awesome, playing mass effect and watching that video are making me a fan of the universe and outerspace.

Thanks for sharing.
