    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe_Sandbox

    Universe Sandbox is a series of interactive space sandbox gravity simulator educational software video games.Using Universe Sandbox, users can see the effects of gravity on objects in the universe and run scale simulations of the Solar System, various galaxies or other simulations, while at the same time interacting and maintaining control over gravity, time, and other objects in the universe ...

  3. GRB 080916C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRB_080916C

    The explosion had the energy of approximately 9000 type Ia supernovae if the emission was isotropically emitted, and the gas jets emitting the initial gamma rays moved at a minimum velocity of approximately 299,792,158 m/s (99.9999% the speed of light), making this blast one of the most extreme recorded.

    New developments since the 2000s include the recognition of short gamma-ray bursts as a separate class (likely from merging neutron stars and not associated with supernovae), the discovery of extended, erratic flaring activity at X-ray wavelengths lasting for many minutes after most GRBs, and the discovery of the most luminous (GRB 080319B) and ...

    The UniverseMachine (also known as the Universe Machine) is a project carrying out astrophysical supercomputer simulations of various models of possible universes, created by astronomer Peter Behroozi and his research team at the Steward Observatory and the University of Arizona.

  7. Hypernova - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypernova

    Those powerful jets plough through stellar material produce strong shock waves, with the vigorous winds of newly-formed 56 Ni blowing off the accretion disk, detonating the hypernova explosion. The ejected radioactive decay of 56 Ni renders the visible outburst substantially more luminous than a standard supernova. [ 7 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUKEMAP

    Nukemap (stylised in all caps) is an interactive map using Mapbox [1] API and declassified nuclear weapons effects data, created by Alex Wellerstein, a historian of science at the Stevens Institute of Technology who studies the history of nuclear weapons.

  9. Doomsday device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Device

    Many hypothetical doomsday devices are based on salted hydrogen bombs creating large amounts of nuclear fallout.. A doomsday device is a hypothetical construction – usually a weapon or weapons system – which could destroy all life on a planet, particularly Earth, or destroy the planet itself, bringing "doomsday", a term used for the end of planet Earth.
