Space Engine is a computer program created by the Russian programmer Vladimir Romanyuk as a space simulator which allows the user to use it to explore simulations of stars, planets, galaxies and other planetary objects in a three-dimensional environment.[2] One of the program main features is its heavy scientific accuracy. For example, planets and stars simulations are based on real data and many characteristics such as temperature and size are available to be seen by the user. It is currently in a beta phase development and is available for download in the official forum.
