Very fascinating.
I found the text accompanying the youtube submission quite helpful to understand the simulation:
Edit: typo
Uh oh.
You guys have done it now. :(
Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse
Is that how it works?
I gather any planets Betelgeuse might have had are long gone by now.
Absolutely mesmerizing.
And this thing is a star?...I'm moving to Mars.
So, is this how the star would look to the human eye if I saw it through Earth's atmosphere or if I saw it in space? I would presume that seeing a star through the atmosphere will change the way it looks to the human eye.
Without context , I would have believed it to be a visualization screen in winamp. Thanks for sharing.
Kinda looks like one of those prolapse videos you see on Efukt
