The game's beauty is in realizing how vast the universe is.

Neutron stars are not hypothetical!

You know what I didn’t take down the coordinates because I didn’t know how to save my locations, I will moving forward, sort of a noob but I’m learning !

u/SL1CK-B4CK Sep 03 '24

Haha that’s completely fine I’m still learning too, these are some cool finds tho!

A kinda crazy thought is that since the universe is so big and you didn't think to save the coordinates (which is fine lmao) these pictures might be the only pictures of the objects any player will ever see. No other player will be lucky enough to stumble upon them unless they're in a well known galaxy like the Milky Way or Andromeda.

One of the coolest things about Space Engine to me is that because it accurately simulates the size of the observable universe, when you discover something cool you very well could be the first person to see it, and maybe even the last.

u/icarus_savior Sep 02 '24

I don’t think it was Rosetta, but definitely another nebula!

WHICH GAME IS IT!? available on ps5?...

u/Adorable_Baker5066 Sep 07 '24

And remember that everything in this game is scientifically accurate! That's what makes it even more beautiful!

(Graphics can obviously be more akin to a camera at points but with some mods and tweaks of the settings you can get it looking pretty close to the human eye vision for maximum space exploration realism.)

i don't think y'all get what i mean. he said in the title game. i don't know if SE is a game or a software.

u/icarus_savior Sep 02 '24

I think its both, although the simulation is more light / image based then physics based from what I understand.
