This simulator has provided many hours of enjoyment for me, and is a study-sim that will challenge what you think you may know about the laws of physics. It's because of this sim I learned about "perturbation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_%28astronomy%29)"...

It is very deep and engaging.

Definitely a "study sim" and it's free.

There is a new version coming out. It is in beta.
