Andromeda means happy feels and exploration!

[LPPrince]

Lets move Pluto to Andromeda where it will be appreciated.

When the game was announced, I started reading the articles and comments and was horrified by the huge amount of people that had no idea what the hell Andromeda is and went around asking all kinds of stupid questions. This thread should be a sticky.

Now now, lets not call them stupid questions. If someone knows not of Andromeda, its best if those of us who do know of it help educate them and bring them in on our knowledge and ideas of it.

 

Thats why this thread exists anyway. I want people to come here, read the posts, watch the videos, look at the images, and think, "Wow, thats amazing!" or say, "I didn't know that! Thats so cool!"

 

So far, success!

Earth to Andromeda in Space Engine 0.9.7

 

 

I suggest you just skip ahead unless you have loads of time to kill.

I always say that devs while making game like ME should hire nice astronomer consultant to make spectacular scenes. It would be cherry on a cake if we get spinning neutron stars or white dwarf swallowing red giant as star system.

I would assume they do. Or should if they don't already.

we have got so much more scientific data on planetary systems than at releasing original ME series.

I really want to stand on alien planet .(like during mako exploration in ME1) stare up an see wonders of the universe. New engine should be capable of simulating to some extent these events

One that note I think it would be cool if stars had their own descriptions, just as planets do. The stars are just as interesting and varied as planets and moons.

We have information on how planets, stars, and other celestial bodies work, yes. But even then we find things that prove us wrong, things that shouldn't exist. With Andromeda we know little so the dev team can play around a bit.

I'll agree to this. That'd be cool. I'd like all celestial bodies of note to have descriptions of history, purpose, and other such tidbits.

Star formation-

 

Andromeda is creating less stars than The Milky Way, at a rate of about one to our own 4-5. This is because Andromeda already went through its phase of creating a ton of stars and is now in the phase of slowing down. The Milky Way is also presumed to be in this phase. The idea is that more stars will come to be during the collision between our galaxies but only for a short time.

 

Terminology for these phases-

 

Blue Cloud- creation of more stars

 

Green Valley- creation of stars slowing down

 

Red Sequence- stars not being created

 

This all depending on star-forming gas in the interstellar medium.

I want a planet that has a galaxyrise. 

 

Here's one with Andromeda:

Here's one with ME stuff in it.

Funny thing I just realized. Since we can see Andromeda from here on Earth with binoculars and telescopes, perhaps there will be a way to see The Milky Way from all the way in the Helios Cluster of Andromeda.

 

That would be a cool thing to see;The Milky Way, 2.5 million years in the past.

You can see it with a naked eye if you're outside major cities. Only the brightest nucleous is visible of course though, if the entire galaxy was much brighter it would be many times bigger than Moon at night sky. I was very surprised when I learnt that

 

Real scale of Andromeda from Earth (if it was brighter)

Thats why I'm wondering if we'll be able to see The Milky Way from Andromeda in game. It'd be a small detail but a VERY welcome one.

I was lucky enough to see it a couple times with the naked eye while in Hawaii at a military training area that's just below where they have the Keck telescopes. It is one of the darkest places in the U.S., so the view of the night sky on moonless nights is often mind blowing.

 

I'm from a major city where you're lucky to see a dozen stars on a clear night, so getting a glimpse of the Milky Way for the first time or the far off Andromeda was almost like a religious experience.

That's actually real?

One of the advantages of suburban and rural life over urban is the lack of light pollution.

[LPPrince]

Yes and no. Thats what Andromeda would look like in the night sky IF we could see all of it. Instead we're only able to see its bright center so you're not gonna see Andromeda to that degree unless you're looking at it through a high power telescope.

[Han Shot First]

Here are two amateur photos of the actual Andromeda galaxy in the night sky. The bottom one is a close up, the top one looks more like what you'd see with the naked eye.

Who knows, there may be alien life there in reality and we just haven't found them yet.
