Fictional: Solar Systems, Planets, etc.:
|
Summary: | My vision of Mu Ara system, based on what we know about Mu Ara system so far. |
Description: | From what we know, Mu Ara has three planets: two gas giants and one huge, rocky inner planet. To install, simply copy the Mu Ara Folder to your Celestia\extras directory. To view these objects, use the ENTER-TYPE NAME-ENTER method to get to Mu Ara. Then, use Celestia's built-in Solar System Browser under the Navigation Menu to view these objects. - Mu Ara B is a gas giant of mass about 1.67 Jupiters. It belongs to class of gas giants dubbed "Water Cloud Jovians." Its orbit is eccentric. I named it "Perun" after the highest Slavic god. It has one fictional habitable moon called "Jurata" (Slavic for Goddess of spring). Hint: Watch Jurata entering Perun's shadow every day. - Mu Ara C, named Kupalo, is about twice as heavy as Perun. It belongs to "Ammonia Cloud Jovians" class of gas giants. Note that the northern hemisphere is darker than the southern one. This is caused by the bigger inclination of its axis resulting in "seasons" on Kupalo. Its orbit is also very eccentric. - Mu Ara D, dubbed Khors, is rocky planet belonging to the "Hot Super Earth" class. Its orbit is very close to the Mu Ara sun and its temperature is reaching 1000 K. It has a dense atmosphere created by perpetual heavy vulcanism. You can see whole seas of molten lava from orbit, glowing on the dark side of planet. |

I love these systems where planets "squish" together. I get great pictures and movies (worth the cost of some realism anyday)

This is a bad addon: low res textures without any originality.

A beautiful and realistic looking system. Installers will need to remove the Mu Ara (=HD 160691) entries from extrasolar.ssc otherwise there are duplicate planets and orbits.

This is a sublimely beautiful planetary system. Very well done. Perun and its forest moon Jurata are ideal. I love gas giants in the goldilocks zone! And Khors the lava planet is amazing.
