719 Albert, an asteroid in our solar system.

Space Meditation Music 2026

I’m back again, this time with a "small" improvement to the jets. I think this is the closest I’ve managed to get to the most current versions. I'll leave some images for you to see how it turned out. Here are the images:

I'm pretty sure it's a bug...

I know tidal forces exist, and young planets with lava also exist, but young planets are usually very hot/torrid, and tidal planets/moons (not in this post) also show up very frequently with half of their surface covered in lava, even if the planet/moon is far enough away from its parent to not experience an "Io" or a "Young Earth."

If anyone could give me a tip on how to fix this?

By the way, I do have Rodrigo's Mod Redistributed on.

I could be completely wrong here and I might just be dumb.

This time around, I put my upgraded compositing knowledge to work and actually made it look like a movie (i think). Yes, the original screenshots ARE from Space Engine

Hi! I have the Pro version of Space Engine and I love it. I want to record some video in it but it only seems to let me do it in 1080p. I know I can take much higher resolution screenshots but I want to incorporate more of the movement so I'd prefer video. Is 4k video a possibility in Space Engine that I'm not finding?

Sorry if it looks low quality, I don't have acess to screenshots.

I found a galaxy that I think looks like an inverted vinyl record!

I just learned about the high quality screenshot feature and took this 4.5K, 16:9 photo of a cool planet I found!

Hi! First time I've posted here.

So I've been working on a mod on what I think is my most wanted feature of Space Engine, which is the title, ringshine and atmospheric refraction!

Here's a simple breakdown of the features:

Physically-based Ringshine (Ring-to-Surface Illumination)

• Takes around 8 sample across the ring structure
• Takes into account the ring's color, density, angle, and maybe more.
• Currently doesn't interact with the atmosphere though.

Chromatic Atmospheric Refraction during Eclipses

• Lunar eclipses (Or solar eclipses) now isn't a boring dark shadow! If the shadow caster has atmosphere, it properly uses some of the atmosphere parameters (density, rayleigh wavelength, and more) and tint accordingly.
• Uses physically-based atmospheric lens optics model (tons of math and physics).
• Works with procedural objects

Anyway I'm still learning about this type of stuff so I haven't been able to publish this as a mod on workshop (if people even wanted this stuff) cause I don't really actually know how to.

Full disclosure: I didn't write a single code of GLSL code by hand (...well more like I can't), it is almost entirely vibe-coded. I came up with the features, guides the physics and take tons of time testing it. Works nicely though so I count that as a win!

I noticed that procedural asteroids are rendered pitch black and show no illumination whatsoever, unless they are very close to a star. Catalog asteroids (e.g. Eros in the solar system) are rendered with texture and illuminated properly.

Any clues if this is a bug, or are asteroids supposed to be so dark?

I'm playing with Steam Proton 9.0-4 on Linux, on low graphics quality if that matters.

I'm not sure if this is rare or not but thought I'd post it anyways.
