Gliese 876 System Inaccurate
« on: March 27, 2016, 08:20:46 PM »
The Gliese 876 system is inaccurate, Gliese 876d is a gas giant, Gliese 876b, and c are terrestrial planets.

This isn't right, Gliese 876d is supposed to be the rocky planet, the others should be gas giants, not rock giants.

Please fix this in the next update.

Same problem with 16 Cygni Bb, it's a rocky planet when it should be a gas giant, Plus, 16 Cygni Bb is more jupiter sized rather than half its size.

Hope you fix that as well.

Chart Mode is on for Gliese 876 so that all the planets would be visible at once.

B and C are Rocky Jupiters, while D is a Gas Giant, E is fine the way it is.

D should be rocky, as most people believe that it's rocky, despite the enormous mass of 7 Earths, but it's dense enough to be rocky in real life, I hope you fix that soon.

B, C and D aren't dense enough to be terrestrial, so they should be Gas Giants.

I hope you fix that soon.

Rocky Jupiters don't exist anyway :P Except for possibly enormous Chthonian cores of hyper-close brown dwarfs.

They might, but they would be extremely rare, and the odds of finding one are 0.0000000001%.
Yet the odds of finding a Mega Earth at the time were 0.0006%.

If one were discovered soon enough, then it would be reported all over the world and even on books and it would even have anniversary celebrations.
