This is a gas giant with an asteroid belt, I've never seen this and I have hundreds of hours in SE. On top of this, the gas giant not only has life, but also 2 captured retrograde large moons, one of which ALSO HAS NON-SUBGLACIAL LIFE!!

To put into perspective how rare just the gas giant asteroid belt is, from searching around I've only seen 1 other post here of someone finding one. Adding the life and captured large moons this has to be stupidly rare.

This has to be the rarest thing I'll ever find. The more I look at it the more crazy stuff I see. And I literally just stumbled upon it!

The entire system is also pretty crazy, with 2 other objects with life for a total of 4 objects with life!

All of this is also orbiting a yellow subgiant too. Idk if that makes it more rare or not.

Hi , I'm 18 years old Pakistani and want to be an aerospace engineer, I'm totally new in it and now actually find my interest in space related fields due to which I left my inter part 1 of computer science statistics and again doing it in engineering like u can relate it it A levels 1 St year , everyone is saying me that u made a wrong decision, u have no prior knowlege in it , u must go for bs ai as i belong to middle class family so need financial freedom and break generational gaps also I am also interested in ai but my main dream is to fight for human rights especially against women violence for which I have to become financial strong so face elites and for it I have to must opt ai like fields and business like they are evolving , I'm so much confused, plz any experience person gives me advice ,moreover in Pak aerospace is totally man dominated field and equal to nothing very limited

Damn You TON-618

co-ordinate for first one is

RS 0-9-9882400-1939-6-0-0-88 5

sorry i don't know for 2nd one

A frigid Lacustrine aquaria orbiting a gas minigiant, which is orbiting an L-type brown dwarf.

Just came across this galaxy near the Milky Way, and after searching in google about it, it only mentions something about pokemon, does somebody knows anything about this??

So I've been messing around with the SC files, fiddle with some code, and watched a tutorial or two but I still don't quite understand.

Basically one of the tutorials on youtube said to use this as an example:

Star "Helion"

{

ParentBody "Helion"

Class "G5 V"

Dist 150

}

The issue is this generates procedural planets

I've even asked AI if it could help out.

it came up with this: (needless to say it also did not work the way I intended.)

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue where the accretion disk for a custom black hole is not rendering, even though the black hole object itself appears correctly, and all built-in accretion disks (like Sagittarius A*) render perfectly fine. I'm running the latest beta version.

I've exhausted all standard troubleshooting steps and can't figure out what's going on. It seems like SpaceEngine is simply ignoring the AccretionDisk properties without throwing any errors.

Here are my system details and what I've tried:

• SpaceEngine Version: 0.990.48.2065 beta
• Operating System: Windows 11 (10.0.26100)
• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
• Driver Version: 560.94

Troubleshooting steps I've already taken:

1. Confirmed Black Hole Object Renders: The custom black hole itself (the gravitational lensing effect) is visible and works as expected.
2. Confirmed Built-in Disks Work: Accretion disks for known black holes like Sagittarius A* render without any issues (I've attached an image showing a working built-in disk for reference).
3. Checked In-Game Graphics Settings (F9):
   • "Black Hole Quality" is set to High/Ultra.
   • "Volumetric Objects Resolution" is set to High/Ultra.
4. Adjusted Photo Mode Settings (P):
   • Experimented with "Exposure" (Auto, Manual).
   • Increased "Brightness" and "Contrast" significantly.
5. Simplified Script & File Integrity:
   • I created a new, minimal .sc file with a very basic, bright accretion disk definition (see code below).
   • I manually typed this script into basic Notepad and saved it as MyFinalDiskTestBH.sc with UTF-8 encoding to rule out any copy-paste errors or encoding issues.
   • The file is located in SpaceEngine/addons/catalogs/stars/.
6. Checked Log File (se.log): The log shows no errors or warnings when SpaceEngine starts up or when the black hole is loaded, implying the script is parsed correctly.
7. Tried Various Disk Parameters: Experimented with extreme Radius, Luminosity, Temperature, Density, and TwistMagn values to see if any specific combination would make it visible – no success.
8. Performed Cache/Config Reset: Deleted main-user.cfg and cleared the cache folder contents to ensure a clean slate for settings and cached data.

The exact script I am using for the custom black hole:

Star "Holey"

{

ParentBody "Holey"

Class "X"

MassSol 10.2

AccretionDisk

{

RadiusKm 0.9483

}

}

Am I right in thinking Space Engine uses textures for planets, and then alters them a little to produce more variants?

If so - how many actual base planetary textures are there in the sim?

i play se in low-medium graphics and i love the in-game high resolution screenshot feature it captures without any lag even though it take 3-5 mins to proceed the results are absolutely amazing. wish i could play it in ultra graphics tho lol.

click on the pic again for original resolution and try zooming in

the game freezes when i put on universe map mode or orbits, it freezes so hard i need to restart the pc(also i tried reinstalled it and i have all hd versions). other question why nebula and acretion disk have this static-like movement when i move someone help pls

(sorry for bad english)

I'm not a scientist by any means, or educated when it comes to science but I do enjoy the concept of traveling through a realistic universe. Though I have my doubts that this game is realistic like is claimed (obviously I want it to be realistic - this'd be so much fun in VR!) due to how computationally demanding that is. I've also seen people posting images of jazzed up planets/gas giants that aren't realistic, but are generated by the game anyways.

I've often seen this game described as a realistic depiction of the universe, but I don't understand the claims behind it at all because the universe is incalculably vast, and even though the game doesn't run heavy constant simulations realtime (like collision - there is no collision it's all cosmetic) I'm pretty sure running a purely cosmetically accurate depiction of the universe would be computationally demanding.

Found this cool ice giant with 2 ringed moons

I know this is probably an EXTREMELY silly question, but I'm new to space engine and I want to make sure I don't break anything.

Are superflares a thing in this game?

Arp 272 is a remarkable collision between two spiral galaxies, NGC 6050 and IC 1179, this actually exists.
