Opus 5.5 powers a 262k-star galaxy collision simulation
Using Opus 5.5 with Three.js and Blender, the author built an animation of a galaxy collision and its tidal tails based on the Toomre & Toomre 1972 paper, with 262,000 stars.

When galaxies collide, the stars almost never hit each other. Space is that empty. Gravity does all the damage: tides pull out long tails and bridges. I built a 262k star simulator of it, based on Toomre & Toomre (1972). Built with Opus 5.5 using Three.js and Blender.
