Universe Sandbox ² | Updates / Re: UY Scuti should be fixed, Stephenson 2-18 to be removed until further notice

Furthermore, measurements based on the multimessenger monitoring of supernovae estimated the radius of UY Scuti to be 909 times the Sun's radius, and its effective temperature to be 3,550 K and its luminosity at 124,000 times the Sun's.

Universe Sandbox ² | Updates / An Update needed for the 2024 total solar eclipse simulation

« Last post by Gregory on April 10, 2024, 08:14:21 AM »

The description on the simulation of the total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024 is in need of an update.
It already happened, and the description tells us it hasn't happened yet.
This needs to be fixed in the next update.

Universe Sandbox ² | Support & Bugs / Gas Giants Converting to Terrestrial Giants When Colliding

« Last post by Gregory on April 02, 2024, 12:22:09 PM »

I was experimenting HAT P-67 b and XO-2 b (the 2 largest known planets) colliding to show the effect of their mass and radius change, and I saw that XO-6 b briefly started showing a terrestrial texture.
This has to be a bug because there's no way gas giants could look rocky when colliding unless they're stripped of their gaseous layers, leaving behind their dense cores.

A Borg Cube and Borg Sphere from Star Trek as objects for the game.
For the Bodies folder.
Simulation exceeds the 6100KB limit.

Yes.
This and rocky jupiters would completely change history and the knowledge of physics.

The universe is a big place. A 'brown giant' could exist, but there's no way to 100% prove it. Space is home to some weird physics so anything is possible. Now you've got my imagination going. Pondering these things is good way to have a bout of existentialism. 🤣

Universe Sandbox ² | Support & Bugs / Disputed bodies on the toolbox in US2

« Last post by Gregory on December 04, 2023, 07:22:45 AM »

Even in the latest version, I noticed in the toolbox that disputed exoplanets and bodies are still included.
When they're known not to exist, they shouldn't be included.
Fomalhaut Ab as well as HD 100546 b and c are still there when they're not known to exist.
This is a serious problem I see many people don't focus on.
Hopefully, they're removed in future updates.
Fomalhaut A and HD 100546 have no known planets as a matter of fact.
