A Neutron star is a heavy star that didn't quite meet the criteria for being a black hole upon death. They're extremely dense, but not enough to become black holes.

So you are right, that is probably what one looks like in space engine and >>386362713 is sort of right. A neutron star can't become a black hole (not quite enough mass)

The new pictures of Jupiter practically made me jizz

Anyone here ever donate to Space Engine?

>>386368974
They're gas clouds, usually pretty massive. The mass is so great, the gases undergo fusion and create stars.

They were formed after the big bang, the plasma cooled and formed massive hydrogen gas clouds. Like 98% of the universes total mass is hydrogen.

Nebula are giant clouds of gas in space. Smaller ones are usually leftovers from supernova. Larger ones (like the pillars of creation) are leftovers from the galaxy forming. Larger nebulas often have hundreds of stars forming inside them, and will eventually be consumed in star formation or spread out enough we can't see them.

Chances are low.
Rogue planets get nearly no light, and therefore almost no outside energy. Theoretically if it was very chemically/volcanically active it could support life, but it would be very different from what we know.
There are also some very theoretical types of "life" (silicon based, crystal formations etc) that might function okay on those planets, but since we're not even sure those kinds of weird ideas would work, the best answer for now is "no"

Same way No Man's Sky does it. Procedural generation. Basically algorithms within algorithms which generate the numbers which determine what a given system/planet/etc looks and acts like.

Most of it is fairly realistic, though you get outliers like >>386370308 or >>386370281 which are very unlikely.

He also has used the star charts of our galaxy to place virtually every known star, and known planet, where it should be, although their conditions might be different than reality.

>>386372446
Any planet with water and volcanic activity.
Whether or not it's INTELLIGENT life is a whole other question.

>>386373232

I don't really know for sure, desu.
Neutron stars are relatively rare, so the chances of that happening are kind of rare. Then again scientists are looking for graviton waves from black holes colliding, which should be even rarer.

I've never found a source as to what happens when two massive objects come into contact with one another. I'm fairly sure stars colliding doesn't just add mass though, its usually pretty disastrous for both.

>>386373232
Technically if the two had a perfect merge of mass if could become massive enough to collapse into one, but the gravitational forces of each would much more likely just rip each other apart.

Any planet can potentially have life. Don't fall for the same bullshit narrow mindedness that our scientists fall for. There are forms of life that can survive the vacuum of space.

Life as we know it requires specific criteria, we don't know a lot of stuff.

>>386371586
The internal heat would form hydrothermal vents that could generate enough heat to support life, and tidal heating from binary ssytems is also a possibility. Silicon lifeforms could form on very low temperatures on liquid methane.

>>386371740
Well, that's already implemented.

Is there life on earth, in space engine? Outer space is romantic.

The "narrow mindedness" is a product of requiring evidence to say something is possible. We have not encountered silicon based life, and therefore we cannot say for sure if it is even possible.

Scientists are particularly careful not to say things are definitely possible when it comes to life. They still haven't produced solid evidence of biogenesis, let alone how it would occur with silicon or something else.

By our current understanding of life, the chances of a rogue planet supporting life is vanishingly small. That is why the answer is "no"

Learn to use the LOD settings. If you're taking anything that focuses on a planet they are essential, you can actually push them above the slider in game with the console (makes the game chug though)

After that its just a matter of playing with the other settings and positioning until you like what you see.
Handy tip: you can speed up or slow down time to get that sunrise or to line up the planets how you want.
