Re: Star Sizes

This is becuase there are swelling and their mass and thier mass is spreading out. Basiclly cause it is out of fuel. With the excess helium still trying to breach the surface, it swells up, like balloon. The swelling pushes their mass outwards. Eventully it will expand to wide and nova. I'm might no...

Who said that life has to be made from carbon? Maybe a new spieces of alien organisms and evolve grow here maybe surviving the harsh condotions. They might even terraform it by themselfs?

I don't think so. With the "G" star as your planet's parent star it would seem to be a fine second home.

Re: Sigma1 Taurus

I never realized that. That a good point though. Only good binary canidates I know is Rigle Kentaurus A & B. but terraforming still will be long process (that's if there any form of water around). This wouldn't be a good planet to terraform

Do you have a 3d modeler? If you do, you could design ships with your system. http://www.mindspring.com/~seankunkle/id23.html (These are only my basic models. I hope to add real-like hull textures and make more real looking.) And use Toti's .XYZ script to make make yours ships explore and advance th...

Re: Is the Andromeda Galaxy going to collide with the Milky Way?

This is only a theory. But it is possible for galaxies collide. This what astronomers call a galaxy evolvtion. the two galaxies' gravity will interfere with each other. then when they collide, Another billion years go by reforming into a elliptical galaxy. It is possible for the Milky way to colide ...

Re: Sigma1 Taurus

:idea: Something came to mind, :idea:
Instead of the planet's orbit going in between the stars why make the inclination in your .SSC file like 90 degrees, This make it so if it was real, Sig2 Tau has little affect on your planet.

I have made a terrestial planet orbiting around the both Rigel Kentaurus Stars > I don't know what's over there - like some black hole, or nuetron star Black Holes Have a event horizon. Meaning they have a boundry to there great gravitional pull. But still have an affect to nearby objects. Not sure ...

Re: Animating the volcanos of Io!?

You should try Anim8tor for your modeling needs. Read the manual and you are ready to go. You can also import and export into .3ds format. Anim8tor is easy to use and its free too. Its found here: http://www.anim8or.com/main/index.html For this you need an .SSC file. The .STC file are for stars. .SS...
