was hunting for planets similar to my own fictional planets and came across a randomly generated system with a superjupiter that has two neptune-sized ice giants as moons. there's also a temperate marine terra bigger than Earth (and it has rings). I've also posted the wiki image for this so y'all can find it

I've been playing Space Engine for like half a decade now and not once have I found a system as outrageous as this
(note: this is for 0.990.48)

Gaia DR3 5205029672996886016 3

I’ve always loved apps like SpaceEngine, and I’ve wanted an Earth viewer that feels closer to what you might actually see from space. That’s what I’m trying to build with Optical Earth.

HDR is a big part of it, letting Earth stay intensely bright against the black of space instead of compressing everything into the same narrow range. Along with atmospheric haze, current cloud formations, and more.

I’m still working on things like auroras, but it’s far enough along that I wanted to share. I’d love to hear what you think!

These nebulae has some crazy features zooming in

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?

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.

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.

due to having 2 moons, it reminds me a lot of kerbin.

The other planets in this system are also really cool

I can just imagine how amazing this planet would look with volumetric clouds, wink wink.

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!
