Found this on Digg today and promptly wasted an hour playing around:

This is really neat. Educational yet very easy to use compared to similar java games of this type.
I am starting to like the random option. Makes it easy to create double planets and satellite systems (create 3 large planets, two collide and the debris go into orbit around the third large planet). With that method, I managed to create a satellite system with 6 moons. Unfortunately, the hill spheres of even the large planets are pretty small when at the highest zoom level, so you have to do these at the farthest zoom level, but then you are likely to lose them to the simulation boundaries. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
