Hi, I am modding our own solar system, asteroid belt around Earth, maybe around other planets, and a lot of other stuffs coming

What's the story behind the asteroid belt around Earth?

Thought It could be fun to make it

Oh, fair enough. I remember coming across this program that would generate a ring of asteroids around Venus, and obviously it would be trivially easy to use Find+Replace to put it around Earth instead. Unfortunately all the download links for it that I can find are dead, and the old computer I had it on is now trashed.

Are you going to be using custom or default textures and models? That would certainly make it stand out, and I would certainly download it.

as you see on the picture I using default texture, but I will see what I would figure out

here is a fictional picture of Rhea, I am creating it too, heard that NASA havent find out if it is rings around Rhea, but if it is in real, this will be the first moon discovered with rings.

read here about Rhea:

The rings hypothesis was disproven not too long ago, actually.

new planet

the asteroid belt around Earth is cancelled, even the planet Poseidon, Rhea's fictional rings is still under construction
