Visual data

Color and size are based on the "mass" of the systems Red debug dot is the fixed center of mass of the galaxy Galaxy center can be updated live with little slow down, but even though in real life the center of mass of a closed system maintains a constant velocity (initially 0) the live updating center will start moving and launching systems out as the distance becomes very small thus increasing the force.
