The Sirus system looks a bit different than in this picture.

I did not change Sirus A and Sirius B, I added only 'Sirius C' and two planets.
By the way, Sirius C should not be a white dwarf, but a black dwarf. (In reality, the universe is probably too young for black dwarfs to exist.)
Black dwarves are not possible in SE, so I made Sirius C an almost black planet.

JD, is Sirius C a real star? BTW I love the creative names you pick for your planets! Looks like one of the planets has extensive rings? A moon of that planet would have a great view of the rings

is Sirius C a real star?

That is not sure. According to the German Wikipedia (and Spanish Wikipedia) there are certain irregularities in the orbits of Sirius A and B, which indicate that there is a third object with a mass of 0.06 solar masses and an orbit of about 6 years.

Hardly likely. The universe is not old enough for that!

A brown dwarf I think but nice to see your quickly update the system.

NASA found an asteroid and named it after Scott Manley..? I find that to be really cool!

Jackdole Galaxy

I did it because kkerr849 asked for it.

It's just a small galaxy because a big one would already been discovered, and I've placed it just behind the Great Magellanic Cloud, so it's hidden. Seen from the sun. Because otherwise it would have been discovered for a long time.

World Ship
(Inspired by the Magog World Ship, from the television show Andromeda.)

This works only with the old SE 0.980 / 0.980_e. That's why I'm releasing it here.

The universe would have to be trillions (or probably more) of years older for black dwarves to exist.

The closest thing to a black dwarf would either be a rogue planet or a planet that is darker than TReS-2 b.

What would a reverse solar system look like? With the Gas giants being in the places of the inner planets and vice versa?
