The Grand Voyage: Home

[trappistplanets]

Welcome Stellar Voyager
You will be exploring some of the strangest known systems in the Milky Way galaxy.

you will start off with the 8 strange worlds of Kepler-90

Destination here



then you will head to Erebus (TrES-2 Ab), the planet with the lowest albedo known

Destination here



3rd destination will be 40 Eridani A b, a planet that was "disproven" than bright back from the dead by a forum member (Gurren)

Destination here
this one does not need tom's catalog, it will work on its own (as long the stars are in celestia for you)




4th destination will be HD 80606 b, a planet that has a comet-like orbit

Destination here


5th destination will be HD 106906 b, a planet that is glowing orange hot despite being in a far out orbit

Destination here


6th destination will be HD 189733 Ab, the hell planet with weather so bad even the planet's hot spot location seems wrong

Destination here


7th destination will be Dimidium, first planet discovered around a sun-like star

Dimidium's catalog destination is 51 Peg b

Destination here


This seems to be the end of our journey so far , but more will soon come
NOTE: these addons requires TOM's exoplanet catalog unless stated otherwise
download to exoplanet catalog is here (this is updated nearly every month) viewtopic.php?f=23&t=18705

Could the following threads be merged, since they're basically the same? This really didn't need to be three separate threads.
Thread 1: 40 Eri,
Thread 2: HD 80606, HD 106906,
Thread 3: Kepler-90, TrES-2, 40 Eri, HD 80606, HD 106906 (this thread).

Could the following threads be merged, since they're basically the same? This really didn't need to be three separate threads.

i want to say no because 40 Eri is quite boring, same goes for most of kepler-90 thus i gave them there own threads
as for HD 80606, HD 106906, there part of a thread called "The Grand Voyage: Strange and Wacky worlds that seem to defy logic" and 40 eri and kepler-90 don't have anything that seem logic defying about them, most of my planets will be weird enough to go under "The Grand Voyage: Strange and Wacky worlds that seem to defy logic" thread, so the most of the links in the homepage (this thread) will redirect you to the "The Grand Voyage: Strange and Wacky worlds that seem to defy logic" thread

although, i might delete the TrES-2b thread and paste most of the contents in the strange and wacky worlds topic, because of its low albedo


boring systems (ie, cueball planets) will be there own topic, as there not much interesting about a bland planet



Added after 32 minutes 41 seconds:
okay, added tres-2b to the "Strange and Wacky worlds that seem to defy logic" thread, now just waiting for seven or somebody to delete the TrES-2b thread [https://celestia.space/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=22168] as its no longer necessary



1 more destination added+ updated link for TrES-2 Ab

I agree that the threads should be merged but don't really want to force it, and Trappist seems very opposed to it. (We discussed this on Discord yesterday.)

Why would "boring" planets get their own threads if "interesting" planets don't? That makes no sense.

i am collecting all interesting ones in one topic, boring ones are not interesting enough to belong in that one thread

Added after 10 minutes 24 seconds:
ok, the :boring" planet's threads were murged, updated destination links for kepler-90 and 40 eri Ab

REDOWNLOAD TrES-2 A b, did a texture update
color was fixed, fyr calculated real color spectra for the planet (not albedo corrected, so i did this myself)
hex code for TrES-2 A b's color (albedo corrected by me) is #182828

Added after 8 minutes 22 seconds:
REDOWNLOAD Kepler-90
there was a bit of a problem with orbits (outermost planet not transiting)
thanks to SevenSpheres for finding the cause of the problem (i had different orbital parameters than what was in tom's catalog, and with me using "Modify" in the code, it replaced Tom's orbit codes with the ones i had, so i removed them, removing them fixes the problem)

[trappistplanets]

next destination will either be Dimidium or Kepler-7b

Added after 6 hours 6 minutes:
new destination added, Dimidium

Added after 10 minutes 27 seconds:
REDOWNLOAD HD 189733 Ab, did a texture update
color was fixed, fyr recalculated real color spectra for the planet (planet was a bit more purple)

Haven't released anything recently for "The Grand Voyage", but good news!
Up next is a special grand voyage destination to honor Sag A*
here is a teaser, the problems with this still WIP version is its too white...need to fix this

using Lansing mesh from Cubic Apoc
