Galactic Collision Simulation using Matlab

Working on simulation of galactic collisions. This is a test run in the early stages. Central mass of a galaxy marked "O", 500 stars (*) orbiting.

Stars begin in stable, circular, orbit around first central mass. Second "galaxy" (second central mass "O") passes through.

this is 4000 step calculations, using adaptive Runge-Kutta routine.
(stars are randomly generated within a square region at the moment, which is why they start out square)
