Celestia Forums

Hi!

In summer 2005 a strange probe has landed like a very small meteorite in my garden. Fortunately I was able to discover, that the probe came from outside our solar system. I could restore and save all data-sets on my computer and transform them into Celestia-datas. So I was very astonished when I discovered that this probe came from a planet circling around a B1-Star only 2.35 lightyears away. Not one astronomer of former and nower days has seen this very bright star yet, no telescope does show it in the real sky. Only I can produce it with Celestia.
Now my idea is to give you the data of the system I called "Ernies Star". I will try to upload it to Celestia Add-ons. Meanwhile, if you send me an email with the topic "Celestia Ernies Star", I sure will send you the rar-file (or zip if you want). Then you also can discover this extraordinary star-system with me.
Also I will try to extract more datas from the E.T.-probe, so that Ernies Star will be geting complex more and more during the next months.

are you for real?

Or is that a fantasy story?

Any such b1 star would probably be a white dwarf, i believe.

Of course it's not for real, but announcement about creating a fictional star system add-on, told in a very nice, "fantasy" way.

Hi!

Oh, you don'r take me for serious??? Even when I tell you, what I found on the HD of the probe? Maybe I discovered the reason for the crash into my garden. I found a window-shaped symbol and the initials GB (possibly Gill Bates). The system I found is named Windows GTI, the overnext version of XP Maybe a system-crash or a startover caused the probe-crash.

Oh, I like these miracles I like to write as if...

But back to Celestia. Unfortunately I found only very few spacecraft-orbit-datas on the probe's HD, which I included in my fictional starsystem. And only one comet. Perhaps I need some Borg-techniques. But the star-system itself seems to be very interesting. There are two suns, one giant planet between others. It seems as if one of the moons of the Giant is like our Earth and has other moons.

Let's see, what mysteries I will discover in the future. I sure keep you informed. Ok?
