Space Engine General.

http://en.spaceengine.org/


You can go to any star you see, in the milky way or any of the other millions of galaxies if you zoom out far enough.


Then you can check how many planets are in the system you went too, and go to each one, which can have moons, and you can go on the surface of the planets which will be procedural generated for you to explore.


The planets will tell you if life are on them or if they could support life (comfort terra's etc)


Play it, It's time.


After exploring 20 stars I finally found one moon around a gas giant that was a comfort terra with life, was fucking epic, here's a screenshot of it.

Will continue to dump screens from this amazing game.

That's a planet and moon orbiting a SUPERGIANT red star, which is 3+ lightyears across.

Here's a comfort terra with rings orbiting a blue star, sadly no life was found on this planet but it does have liquid water.

Found a cool terra with life in the Andromeda Galaxy...

I wonder what kind of life.

That planet is only 105 million years old, I doubt life has evolved past prokaryotic cells, if there are cells at all.
Perhaps its just primitive RNA copying itself..

Interesting, OP... I'm a long time user of Celestia, which is similar. One thing I like about Space Engine is that they procedurally generate the "unknown" stuff. I've been hoping they'd add that to Celestia.

Ok, what the fuck, why can I not fly freely? I can set my velocity to anything I want but I just stay stuck "following" whatever I clicked on and I don't go anywhere. How do I turn off the "follow" mode?

>> No.3615576

Whatever happened to Celestia?

>> No.3615609

>>3615510
Ah, figured it out... you have to use a weird combination of the velocity (mouse wheel) and "move" keys (W/A/S/D). Not very intuitive, needs some work.

Whelp...

Now I have a new fear.

I've went about 100 the speed of c for a bit, stars passed by at a blur, came to pure nothingness... turned around to realize I'm only out of the galaxy.

Now I'm just scared of the scale of stars, nevermind galaxies..

Seriously, I'm fucking scared using these universe sanboxes.

Go to Jupiter. Look at the sun.

Go to a similar distance(5 AU) from Betelgeuse.

Yes. It's... pretty big.
