Pretty good, but one fix
Sometimes you beat the level, then die an instant later and have to restart the level.
PBS NOVA Black Hole Disappointing
Installed on iPad 17.3.1. Downloaded fine. Downloaded this twice. Whether I play or watch, neither works with sound. PLAY starts rolling balls on a grid which I presume is a “Black Hole” & stars. I don’t have a clue to what’s expected or happening. Poor. I expected more reliability from PBS development. ☹️

I did it, but I didn't like it.
I had to finish each level. Then I found the answer key. Sad they made this almost too difficult to see the end. And I don't get to see my badges? Take a picture of your badges after you get them, they will go in the black hole, never coming back. I earned those with trial and skill. Learn from this and you will enjoy your badges for years to come.

Really need a zoom out option...
I use an iPad Pro, and because your star is so close to the edge of the screen it is impossible to get to higher starting speeds on many levels without slipping my finger off the screen and automatically launching the star. A simple zoom-out option would fix this!
This is Great but it has a couple little bugs.
I really love ❤️ this game, and I think smashing stars 🎆🔆🔅⭐️🌟✨💫☀️🎇🌠 with my star 💫 across the galaxy 🌌🌀,but it has a couple little bugs.First when it says the space time fabric will bend it does not bend.Second, I really think they should make a part 2 where the star 💫 is a black hole 🕳

Pretty decent
I get why people might think it's impossible, but an easy game is no fun. Keep at it. I agree, as sequel would be fun. Gave it 4 stars only because it crashed several times.
Plz make nova elements work with iOS 11
Plz
Fun!!!
Great casual fun! My 7year old likes it, I like it and I like this as a companion app to the Nova Black Hole Apocalypse episode. None of these puzzles are impossible, it simply requires a test and repeat approach. Mad props to PBS and Nova, for a fun little app.
Star smashing was fun then well boring/impossible
Can’t get past smashing a star behind a black hole. There probably is a way I could not find it and got VERY bored. Maybe a hint would have helped. I deleted the app as I could get no further and lost interest.
Grid useless
You can't rotate, so the grids are basically useless, you can't determine relative angle because the perspective is off.
Too Hard With Black Holes
It's 100% impossible with The binaries of black holes
Crashing
Looks like it might be fun but it crashed a lot and I could not get past level 2.
Smashing
My kids loved playing with the different scenarios and have been much more interested in cosmology. It's a great demonstration of things that happen on a scale we don't really get to see. Thanks, Nova!
I do not like this game
All you do is smash stars together also I am the first to rate this app
