How this galaxy animation was drawn entirely in code

A developer generated this entire animation with JavaScript code instead of drawing or filming it. It starts as a single orbiting point and gradually fills out into a full galaxy of stars, rings, and colored bodies, frame by frame, purely from code.

There's no video source and no hand-drawn art anywhere in it, every shape and movement is calculated and rendered live.

Made by u/Efistoffeles. This write-up follows the original post; it is not an independent product test.
