Baz Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I posted this along time ago before the forum transfer, but this is a very very cool space simulator that I've had for a while called Celestia. It is basically a detailed 3D database of the known universe that you can explore to your hearts delight. This of course includes all known bodies in the solar system, planets, comets, moons, and all, every known star, and every known extrasolar planet system, and every known galaxy. One interesting feature is that you can make addons and create your own fictional star systems and planets, or download ones that people have already made. This program alone really changed how I thought about the vastness of space, zooming around the solar system and various stars. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in astronomy. You can get it here (free of course): http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ And here is the website that has all the addons that people have created for it: http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/ To give you an example of what this program looks like, here are a couple planets I made: The controls might be a bit hard to handle at first but once you get the hang of it, its quite a thrill. Also I made the system that Rock Raiders takes place in, including planet U: http://www.filefront.com/16713969/RockRaiders.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEPICtrainrider Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Nice dude. Google may have to watch out for this! *downloads* I'm also surprised that nobody told me about this on the old forum... I also like your style of coming in once in a blue moon, in the dead of night, post something totally awesome, then leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amauros Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 That would be because it's an attachment. Cyrem will have to reupload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
