The sol system gas giant problems

[jordarkelf]

Planet IX is estimated to be a small (10x earth mass) gas giant, not a dwarf planet.

Niburu or Nemesis?

Planet X, by the way, with 'X for unknown', not X as in 10.
Until it is found and acknowledged as a planet, it won't get the Sol IX nominer.

I can assure you they are not. The gas giant texture was created from scratch (and then color variants where created), they do look similar to Jupiter though, they ought to since they need to match, all a being gas giants.

Jupiter itself thought uses a unique texture, only for that planet.

What about Neptune/Uranus/Saturn like textures?

their is some serious scientific evidence that sol is a binary system.
yet nobody seams to be bothered by this fact we only see 1 star

source or it never happened. Oh, and simple evidence does not proof nothing. So, why bother?

Is there? Have I missed something? I don't think I have, but I'm not infallible either.

I'm more concerned* about how Venus and Mercury have generic toxic and molten planet textures

that said, Neptune should be a deeper blue and Uranus shouldn't have bands

also jupiter's red spot shouldn't still be there 200 years in the future

also space is light green

* which is still not very concerned tbf

I thought you were going to bring up the very likely to exist fifth gas giant recently uncovered through mathematics.

It would be so very cool if Planet Nine were found. Mike Brown says it's there and Mike Brown is cool, but he's not infallible either.

From his maths, it looks as if even our very largest telescopes (Keck, for example) would have difficulty spotting Planet Nine. However, that just makes it more interesting.

Planet Nine is thought to orbit a very, very long way out, so it's unlikely that we'd be able to fit her on the system map.

watch and learn.

this is indirect evidence but consider the amount of planets they still discover it's not a closed door ether.

It's been there for at least 190 years, and possibly 350 or more. We've also seen similar spots form in other belts of Jupiter and on Saturn and Neptune, so even if the GRS may finally disappear another one could very well form.

literally unplayable. cancelling pre-order.

At least that is the forecast...


It will be interesting to see, what modders will do. "realistic solar system textures" might be one of the first graphical mods, I would guess. Together with different colors for the ships, but probably after new emblems.

doesn't look quite right to me still. they are to clear cut with the clouds and the colors are off.

Seriously?

The storm's been around since at the very least Galileo's day (and has likely been storming for much longer) and probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
