Skyrim..... Good god so much Skyrim especially since the release of the VR version.

Not likely but not impossible.  Remember SE has no set release date.

Do the galaxies look the same as in the previous version?

Yes.

Overview is separate from Space Engine.  Overview requires VR.  Space Engine .9.9.0 and beyond does not require VR and can be played normally. 

Overview requires a headset.  Space engine does not.

Go to IC 1101.  That galaxy has the black hole you are looking for.

It's just a test model to help him calibrate the PBR. Also there to show the results of the PBR which are quite nice indeed.

11812 Pulsar jets aren't even visible from any other angles besides head-on. ;p
First: They are still really beautiful and cool looking ;p

Second: really? I didn't know that .-. why is that so? is it because of exposure levels?
It's because the jets are high ...

Unlikely.   Not even us in the closed beta have access to the most current build.  

This will be fixed in the next version.  But, for now, just call them "salty".

I am playing in the closed beta.  Not .9.8.0.

I've found 150+ Au in older versions.  Sadly it is capped at 39Au now.  Though I suppose it is better this way for realism's sake.

Well we can't observe most of our galaxy due to us being in it and the Andromeda galaxy is too far away for us to get any accurate readings on a single star.

300 M stars exist and we have seen them as Gnargenox pointed out. R136a1 to be specific. Now for stars over 100Au in diameter.... well that is probably unrealistic unless it is a Quasi star . Even so Quasi stars have not been observed and were thought only possible in the very early universe.

Edit ...

I've noticed that volcanoes "magma" doesn't line up with the volcano itself in version 0.9.8.1.
