## Description

**Milky Way** is a cosmic physics sandbox where you can experiment with gravity, planetary collisions, galaxy mergers, stellar evolution, and black holes. Create solar systems, build stable orbits, smash planets and stars, simulate protoplanetary disks, and explore phenomena such as supernovae, neutron stars, tidal disruption, and the Three-Body Problem.

Designed for space fans, students, teachers, and curious explorers ages 9 and up, the app combines real astronomy with accessible, hands-on gameplay. Additional experiences include Planet Rivals, a SpaceX-inspired Mechazilla catch mini-game, and solar system size comparisons. Milky Way is free to play, endlessly replayable, and privacy-first with no accounts, ads, tracking, or data collection.
