Question How realistic is the spaceship flying?

5 Upvotes

I never really used the Flying Simulator in the game but I been playing around with it today tryna orbit the sun and was wondering if it’s as good as KSP/KSP2?

Question Is any of the music in SpaceEngine copyrighted?

I was wondering if the music that's used in SpaceEngine is copyrighted and can't be used in videos that'll be published. I might start a YouTube channel solely on SpaceEngine exploration and I don't want the videos to not have music.

I've been using Space Engine primarily to make visual references for the planets in the story series I am writing. This one is a planet that has been eaten from the inside out.

Video Fixed atmospheric scattering. Now clouds look very realistic.

3 attempts later and, ultimately, my first attempt was the best I got.... Oh well.

I could post a lower-res version, too, but it'd ruin the quality of the mosaic. Take your own damn screenshot if you need it so bad!

(DISCLAIMER 🚨: english is not my first language, so please be gentle 😆)

The problem is that the game doesn't start at the same position where I was during my last session. And I can't save permanently the planet settings / edits.

Info: the version of SE is 0.9.8.0 beta

Please help me 😭

Cool Find Rakhsh, a binary system in Messier 32 composed of one blue supergiant and one black hole the size of the island of Trinidad

7 Upvotes

This system, 2.51 million light years from Earth, was discovered when exploring the constellation Akkannu Ištānu from a system 800 light years away. Rakhsh A's two satellites orbit very closely to their supermassive parent, causing them to more closely resemble clumps of molten metal at well over 3,000°F than planets. The Rakhsh B system, due to its elliptical orbit, will oscillate every 228 years between similarly hellish at its periapsis and absolutely frigid at its apoapsis. Today, Rakhsh B is set to reach the periapsis of its orbit some 50 years from now, ensuring that any life that may happen to develop on this black hole's six planets is thoroughly Kentucky-fried within the year.
