Experiments with a basic n-body simulation in 3D to checkout Bevy.
In particular, pretty cool ephemerides data from JPL Horizons allowing you to get initial conditions to simulate the Solar System.
Distances between objects are to-scale (0.1 AU/unit). Radiuses of planets as well (10^-4 km/unit) but not the Sun. Note that therefore radiuses and distances use a different scale.

N-body 3D simulation with Bevy
Several `--startup` options:
* solar: planets of the Solar System - and Pluto :'( - with data from JPL Horizons as-of 2021-04-18.
* figure8: stable figure-8 three-body solution
* random: generates random bodies around a large star
Mouse controls:
* right-click & drag to orbit the camera
* scroll to zoom
Options:
--startup startup system [solar (default)|figure8|random]
--speed speed of the simulation [default: 1.0x]
-d, --debug enable diagnostics in the console
--help display usage information
