AstroGrav 1.6.1
About AstroGrav
A program that allows you to study how astronomical objects move and interact under the force of gravity. It features superb interactive 3D graphics which allow you to move around within an astronomical system that you are viewing, while watching how it evolves with the passage of time.
A wide variety of sample files are provided, including Solar System, space mission and abstract systems, and these enable you to experiment with AstroGrav without having to go to the trouble of entering your own data. The comprehensive editing facilities allow you to either create your own astronomical systems or to modify existing ones, and provide you with an almost endless scope for experimentation and investigation.
What’s New in this Version
- Improved the ‘Edit / Add Family…’ command to make experimenting with new families much easier.
- Corrected a bug that could cause object collisions to sometimes not work correctly.
- Improved number displays, so that numbers such as 1.2 no longer display as (for example) 1.199999999999998.
- Corrected a bug that caused the horizontal scroll bar to never appear on new tables, regardless of the preference setting.
- Corrected a bug that caused the ‘Peri Arg’ column of exported data to just be a duplicate the ‘Mean Anom’ column.
- Various minor bug fixes and improvements.
