SpaceEngine

A 3D universe simulator where you fly freely between stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies. It combines real astronomical data with procedural generation to fill the rest of space. You can move at any speed and change the point in time. There are no missions, and it supports VR. It is exploration and learning rather than a game with goals. Is it your kind of game?
