Hi celestians

This addon is based in a Thermal Planetary Habitability Classification for Exoplanets and list of Earth Similarity Index. The textures were generated with the free software Textures for planets. Earthlike cloud is imported and adapted since free license textures.

Details of the second version (see first post to download addon there):

Includes a merged version of the confirmed and unconfirmed extrasolar planets by Sirius Alpha to celestia/data folder to avoid fails and bugs in my addon

Now can to find 4 class of planets

1. Mesoplanets (6 planets)
2. Psychroplanets (3 planets)
3. Eyeballs (7 tidally locked planets)
4. Oceanic planets (3 planets)

TOTAL: 19 earthlikes

New update: Hycean planets

Post #3by DrJMOS » 24.02.2022, 02:19

To add new category called hycean planets rename the texture called oceanclouds.png to hyceanclouds.png in Earthlike V2, modify oceanplanets.scc and to create hyceanplanets.ssc

Planets greater than 2 Earth masses in habitable zones have a higher percentage of water than Earth, can to find a lot of oceanic planets there. Even planets between 6-8 Earth masses have a percentage of 50% water and 50% rock (Sotin et al 2004 and 2007).

Hycean planets are planets with > 10 Earth masses (planets with radius > 13500 km). Hycean planets attract helium and hydrogen onto their atmospheres and clouds (Anderson et al 2021)

Modify oceanplanets.scc

the potental planet 9 in our system is ~5 earth masses and a radius of ~18600 km (according to the latest model introduced in the paper called A search for Planet 9 in the IRAS data)
what kind of planet am i looking at here, its not massive enough to be a proper hycean type world (even if it was, it would be a frozen world)

Planet Nine would be a mini-Neptune, resembling a smaller version of Uranus and Neptune. A "hycean" planet is a hypothetical type of mini-Neptune with a liquid water ocean; Planet Nine would be too cold to be an example of this.

Hi Trappist and SevenSpheres, hycean planets is a type of minineptune but that we can to find only in habitable zones.

In other hand I've found some confusing sources about when planets start accumulating hydrogen and helium around their atmospheres.

The astronomer Geoffrey Marcy says that planets with 2 times or more than the radius of the earth have an envelope with hydrogen and helium.

In the paper "Habitability and Biosignatures of Hycean Worlds" says "with radii as large as 2.6 Earth radii (2.3 Earth radii) for a mass of 10 Earth masses (5 Earth masses)"... Here I've found somewhat confusing but I interpret that above the 5 earth masses or 2.3 times the earth radius the planets start to accumulate hydrogen and helium in atmospheres.

Other authors comment that planets with 10 Earth masses or greater.

I guess that the planet 9 is a type of very cold minineptune with a small core of rock, big mantle of ice of water mixed with ammonia/methane and a very small atmosphere of helium and hydrogen because is 5 times of earth mass. If there is not a helium or hydrogen atmosphere i guess is only an ice planet of water mixed with ammonia and methane (frozen ocean)

so planet 9 is most likely a minineptune as seven stated, but there is a chance it would be a really big ice-ball leaking out there is what your saying?

if we ever find planet 9 and send a probe to it, we can settle this once and for all
if planet 9 is a minineptune (most likely) than that means a planet can attract hydrogen and helium at 5 earth masses
but if it has no hydrogen/helium shell, and its just a giant icy ball, than that means 5 earth masses is too small

Hi again celestians,

During next days/weeks I will upload specular textures. Now is to Eyeball planets, the download link appear in the first post.

There shouldn't be any issue; they should all use Modify or Replace statements.

Hi Omega, sorry for the long time to answer your question (2022 was a very bussy year to me), as Dave has said all of these are already available long ago by a lot of users, even you can to find my guide to add NASA textures to Proxima Centauri b and Trappist planets in my post of addons here
