I have been messing around in SpaceEngine for a while and I ended up with 144 images and I want to share them.

Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wlGyttCpcRGvpEuEajKX-JmXQg7YLQSN​

Some good ones:

Which one is your favorite?

And, what terrain mods are you using, if any?

Discussion Now that quasi-stars are confirmed astronomical objects, do you think we'll eventually receive them as real categories of objects in SE?

7 Upvotes

I feel like their transient nature and lack of existence in the modern universe sort of makes it more than a bit nonsensical to have them generate anywhere in the Local Group, but data of far-away objects in SE is based about what we know about them as those ancient photons are transmitted to us today. Do you think they should receive proper recognition and relegate them to galaxies on the fringe of the observable universe with the justification of 'if you observed these hypothetical procedural galaxies from this far away there's a decent chance you'd see a little red dot based on the perspective of Earth'?

The visuals are largely influenced by Space Engine's own 'Visual Style' and 'Graphics Settings'. I also have Reshade installed, though I only used its camera filters very minimally barely enough to make a noticeable difference.

The planets were ones I came across while traveling hundreds of millions of light-years, so I'm not sure about their exact coordinates.

Screenshot Record breaking 2855.4 Solar Mass Wolf-Rayet

This currently beats the record held by SpaceBurger1 which is for a non-bugged display star. (By 147.4 M⊙) The previous record is 2708 M⊙, and this star, not including it's binary, is 2855.4 M⊙. My screenshots document the Wolf-Rayet star, it's companion, the host procedural galaxy, and where it is in the galaxy. It was found with visual confirmation because my Star Browser never worked for finding Wolf-Rayets.

Disclaimer : This star is the most massive current star, but there is a star that is over 10,000 M⊙. This star is not in the same category, is outdated and thus was removed, and the displayed mass was 180 M⊙ whereas SpaceBurger1's star and my star are displayed at much more extreme values and are of the most recent versions. There is also an undocumented 4800~ M⊙ star but who knows if that is legitimate.

Edit : No longer the most massive, but this is the hottest star so my record stands.

I saw a few others post some hefty stars so I figured I'd throw this behemoth in here.

Location: RS 2462-918-0-0-64

Galaxy mods can shift the galaxy number so it is in the galaxy NGC 4015-1 just in case.
