This adds the recently found and has a 99% chance of being real based on data, exoplanet Barnard's Star b.

Looks awesome. So it's just the one planet discovered up there?

Haven't downloaded it yet; but very likely good.

Hm... I cannot see the surface like at your image.....

I released this addon 2 years ago.

i thing i can make one that looks like that but have newer textures
is that ok Anthony_B_Russo10 ?

In 2021, the radial velocity signal vanished since we got newer data about the star, proving the so-called planet doesn't exist after all: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2021/05/18/astronomers-nix-idea-of-super-earth-around-barnards-star/?sh=79891a41842a

yeah that is sad

It shows us that even to this day with all our technology, we never really know what's out there.

Eric Nelson, please stop reiterating the same things over and over in different threads. It's spammy and annoying.

It's all I had to say at this moment since there's nothing else to say about what I said before.
Exoplanets are extremely hard to find as they're so far away and technology is limited and even the transiting ones are hard to detect as the planets take up very small fractions of the stars, blocking out relatively very little of their light.
And that can be visually hard to distinguish from data artifacts.
So everyone looking for them keeps inspecting them and measuring with as much data as possible to find out whether they're real or not.
