Astronomy procrastination tool (for David)

Freho wanted more updating, so here's one that I know he'll appreciate.

I found this star formation game this afternoon while doing a little bit of procrastinating between some real hard work. It's a pretty quick and simple game, but it's based on some real science so it's a good procrastination tool for any physicist.

You start out with a cloud of gas in space. You then get to plant "seed stars" which supernova and blow the gas away in a shock wave. If you place the seed stars around the edges you can force the gas to become dense enough in the center to collapse under gravity and form a new star.

Once you get the hang of it you may find yourself distracted for a while as you go for a high score. I managed to score 11052 with a 45 star chain earlier.
