# What is NEXT exactly?
2+
3+
NEXT is an N-Body gravity code for astrophysics and such.
4+
5+
## What does that mean?
6+
7+
Its a Computer program made in the low-level programming language C++ designed for running on workstations
8+
or supercomputers that simulates forces between objects called **"Newtonian Gravity"**
9+
10+
## What does N-Body mean?
11+
12+
The term "N-Body" simply means **"multiple"** or **"many"** bodies, N could stand for 1, 500, or even millions!
13+
**"Body"** refers to such object in the simulation, it could be a star, a planet, or just particles.
14+
15+
**So, an "N-Body" simulation is just a way of calculating how "N" objects move under gravity when they all pull in at eachother in the same time.**
