Patterns of the Universe

Our universe is full of many different types of patterns. Using code, some of these patterns can be generated. Using sine and cosine, curves were generated to take the shape of different types of galaxies and nebulas. These lines represent gravity. Stars, represented as circles, are populated around the area of the curves. The proximity of the circles center point to the line determines its radius giving variety to the stars in the galaxy or nebula. The last set of patterns takes some of the concepts used to generate the galaxy patterns and applies it to spheres to generate craters on the surface of a moon.
