Space Engine a free space simulation programthat lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planetEarth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe arerepresented using actual astronomical data, while regions unchartedby astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies,trillions of stars, countless planets – all available forexploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watchalien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilotstarships and atmospheric shuttles.
Capabilities
– All types of celestial objects are represented: galaxies,nebulae, stars and star clusters, planets and moons, comets andasteroids.
– Known celestial objects are represented using data from thecatalogs: galaxies (NGC/IC), stars (HIPPARCOS), star clusters,nebulae, planets (our Solar system data and known extrasolarplanets).
– Uncharted regions of space feature procedurally generatedobjects: galaxies, stars, star clusters, nebulae and planetarysystems.
– The observer is free to move around the universe. Transitionbetween any celestial body and any scale occurs seamlessly.
– The observer can move around in space using the WASD keys, likein First Person Shooters. Movement with inertia is made possible inSpacecraft mode or Aircraft mode.
– “Select and fly” autopilot: just click on any object with themouse and hit the ‘G’ key to automatically go directly to theobject.
– Automatic binding of the observer to a moving object andautomatic selection of optimum flight speed.
– Search for celestial objects by name. Search for stars in aradius around you. Scalable map of the Universe and a planetarysystem browser. Saving locations and autopilot’s journal.
– Built-in wiki system with descriptions of many known objects andability to extend by user. Possibility of renaming and describingof any object, including procedural ones.
– The orbital motion of planets and stars is calculated in realtime, with the ability to accelerate, decelerate, or reverse theflow of time.
– Display of orbital paths of celestial objects, their rotation andmotion vectors, labels and markers, celestial grid, currentselection pointer and user velocity vector.
– Volumetric 3D models of galaxies and nebulae with interstellardust clouds.
– 3D landscapes of planets and stars: for many solar system bodiesactual data from space probes is used; for uncharted and proceduralplanets the surface is generated procedurally on the GPU.
– The exact model of the Earth’s atmosphere (code by EricBruneton), adapted for the other planets.
– Lighting effects: lens flares, solar eclipses, shadows ofplanetary rings. Celestial objects cast light and shadows onto eachother.
– Controllable space ships (alpha).
– Original background music with context-dependent switching oftracks.
– Localization to many languages, with the ability to add newones.
– Ability to import user addons: models, textures, catalogs.
