New creation..Taken from Voga's surface...

As we can see here, Voga passes through the outer edge of Preterux's rings every so often causing the cratered surface we see here...Also during its close pass by its mother planet, they exchange gasses from each of thier atmospheres. A perfect recycling process!

Life on the surface of Voga would not exist...since its high temprature of 1200 F or so. but its rich mineral deposts of liquid gold and other unknown substances. Life instead flourishes beneath the surface...the Vogans. Humanoid colonists from some ancient race put there to guard the gold from raiding sactions...

It's very cool to see these new solar systems!

I'll be working on the implementation of atmospheres for the next version so that they'll be a bit more realistic and also more flexible. That image of planetrise looks great even with 1.2.0 atmospheres though . . .

Thanks...I know some astronomy, and remember very little physics...I'm learning as I create
