The Sun Is Born
A spinning cloud of gas falls inward, flattens into a disk around a newborn star, and twin jets shoot out from its poles.
Drag to look around; touch things to play with them.
- The idea
- This is how the Sun was born, 4.6 billion years ago: gravity wins in a dense core, spin flattens the infalling gas into a disk, and the young star throws some of what it swallows back out as jets. The live sim has real gravity and spin; the jets use a launch rule rather than magnetic fields.
- With music
- Kicks set off accretion bursts (bright knots in the jets); vocals brighten the gas; punch lights the protostar. Tap Demo beat for our own beat, or Your music to let it hear the room.
- How it runs
- It’s the same live simulation as in the Everdust apps, running in your browser on WebGL 2. If your device struggles, it lowers the detail a step at a time to keep the motion smooth.
This is just a taste
Loved The Sun Is Born? There are many more worlds in the app.
The Everdust app has every world at full detail, plus games made of physics, stories you step inside, Create (turn any photo into a world), and hand tracking on Vision Pro and Quest. Free during the beta.
