This is Manash's observatory: a small ship, a lot of dark, and a few experiments left running. Scroll to travel, or hold W to warp. Click anything that glows faintly. Not everything out here is on the map.

Make your own gravity.

Drag on the canvas to throw a planet. Switch to star mode and click to plant a sun. Raise gravity until orbits tear apart.

Is anyone out there? Do the math.

Frank Drake's equation estimates how many civilisations in our galaxy could be sending a signal. Every number is a guess. Move them and watch the answer swing.
