Alpha Centauri

[-]

Does Universe Sandbox 2 offer a simulation of our neighboring star system (as best as we can guess so far)?

A number of star systems can be opened here, including our neighbouring star system—Proxima Centauri and its planet Proxima b.

Most of those simulations are generated from Universe Sandbox ² internal database, we really need to provide the interface so that any exoplanet simulation can be generated. (I just added to our task list, although no promises on when this will be complete)

It would be nice to see the whole Alpha Centauri trianry system. At present only Proxima and its recently decovered planet are available. I've personally tried to create the entire trinary aleady with some success. The AB binary is quite easy, however trying to get Proxima to orbit at 15,000 AU from the Alpha Centuari A is something I haven't had success with. Proxima always seems to switch orbital parents and one time it simply drifted away from the pair altogether.
