[galaxy] Welcome to the Laboratory. Once you have learned about the concepts of space, time, and spacial anomalies, among other things, you can use this page to experiment with the concepts. After some experimentation, you may want to move on to the game, where you can actually test your newly acquired knowledge of the universe and attempt to take a starship and its crew to the center of the galaxy. But, stay here for a while, first. You may find the labs to be fun as well as educational. Read the descriptions below to see what I mean. Also, you'll want to refine your knowledge before taking the quiz.

[galaxy] The Birth and Death of a Star

Create your own star and watch it grow! Starting from nebula, where it will advance from, until it finally dies. After you create your first star, you may go back and explore with different settings. You may change the spectral type, name, and mass of the star. Depending on the mass, your star may have different outcomes, possibly even producing a black hole!
