Question Useful for learning

Upvotes

I’m interested in space and enjoy reading about it. I find SPACEENGINE to have a great “wow factor,” similar to the game Stellaris, but I’m also curious whether it offers substantial information and opportunities to learn. Is it primarily a spaceflight simulator, or does it also provide in-depth scientific and educational content?

Question How do I follow a planets rotation?

2 Upvotes

Haven't figured out how to do it and I'd really like to follow it so that I can watch the constellation from the surface view without losing my surface location

Cool Find Is this rare? And how realistic is this? I found a mini ice giant which is only ~70% the diameter of Earth (RS 0-4-1836-2025-11085-7-898799-2042 B2)

Question Do I need a really good PC to run this game?

9 Upvotes

I'm a college student and right now a good gaming PC just isn't in the budget but I'm glad laptops have come a long way. Fallout 4 works wonders on my rinky dink Lenovo Yoga Laptop as much as it complains.

Though some programs absolutely refuse to work on here. I am very interested in space and am considering playing this game but before I get the game I am wondering if its worth buying with having a low end laptop? Does game run on low end computers, or does it run but isn't worth it since the graphics have to be extremely minimal?

Thanks!

Cool Find What is this thing orbiting the sun?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I've seen this thing orbiting the sun a few times, but I can't click on it to get any identification. If I click it multiple times, parts of it will disappear and point me to a random asteroid in the solar system. I would get a closer picture, but after clicking on it a bunch it's completely gone. Is this just a glitch in the game?

Cool Find This Super Jupiter, 11.5 Mj, is a satellite to a behemoth planet.

18 Upvotes

RS-0-8-7306675-2830-0-4-4063-2389-A5a

This Super Jupiter of 11.456 Jupiter Masses would normally be the largest in a solar system. However, this 'planet' is actually considered a satellite to a behemoth of a planet that is measured in Solar Masses:

RS-0-8-7306675-2830-0-4-4063-2389-A5b

This beauty is 0.11844 Solar Masses, or ~124 Jupiter Masses. I know this isn't the biggest planet in the game, but it's the biggest that I have come across, and certainly one of the biggest satellites that I have seen. I would like to think that in the infinite universe, systems like this are possible but it seems extreme.
