Re: Astrophotography

Thanks, so video is best? It would show the movement of the lights as they increase and decrease.  I see much of what is captured is not easily visible with the eyes.

Re: Astrophotography

Mid did you see these Northern Lights? They are absolutely amazing!

I wonder what camera settings are needed for these?

Here are some Northern Lights images I found, one Southern Lights image and an image of them from Saturn!

Re: Image Dump

Wow how did you get the planet and rings to glow like that, Fellow Alex?  Backlighting?  Is that Saturn?

Re: Asteroids, meteors, and meteorites

I envision a new TV series-- Wat the Meteorite Hunter! But seriously, this is a great reason why so many meteorites have been found in Antarctica, it is after all a desert. The famous meteorite that came from Mars was found there as well as some that came from the Moon. Back in the 90s we used to ...

Re: Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.990



I believe the default controls for this are the comma key for decreasing and the period key for increasing it

pretty sure thats the exposure controls

I just use the exposure control, which is fine and does the same thing. Ambient Lighting/Occlusion whatever doesn't work for me, I turn it on ...

Re: Asteroids, meteors, and meteorites

I wonder if we can make predictions for incoming space garbage too, we've had a few incidents of that also.

I've always wanted to collect meteorite fragments but didn't know what kind of equipment I'd need to identify it in the field.

Re: Image Dump



Wow I need to find distinct colors like these!
I've been looking for multiple star systems like that.

Well, you have a lot of addons, and may have changed the default addresses, so this may not work for you:

The planet I'm orbiting is:

RS 8093-2251-8-8180399-2344 B1

2.904 day orbit around ...

Re: Science and Astronomy Questions

But that doesn't equate a torus with a sphere, they are topologically distinct....but this has already been discussed.  The random inclination variation (which I didn't know about before) is why it's a sphere and not a torus.

Re: Global population hits 8 billion


I take bigger issue with calling it "the sixth mass extinction" than recognizing that the extinction rate is currently significantly greater than the "background extinction rate". The latter is a strong claim to make, especially given the biases in determining past extinction rate from the fossil ...

Ahhh its not that little, space makes it look liitle.
Earth is plenty big enough for us right now, we simply have to get some perspective and work on our existing technologies to do things better.
In fact things are alot better than they have been in the past.
Getting us all out of poverty and ...
