GALAXY Stellar Motion Simulation

Simulates stellar motion under the influence of gravity. 
Create a field of stars, then watch how they pull and 
accelerate each other. Vary number of stars (2-1000) and 
their initial velocities. Watch how attractive forces send 
stars careening in new directions. Watch large patterns 
evolve over time (millions of years per minute). 
Doubles as Windows screen saver. Fast CPU advisable.
