Isn't scorch absurdly hot?

I have a new name for our hell-hole. Anyone remember This? The legend describes Icarus and his father escaping with wax wings. Icarus flies tok close and his wings melt. Sounda like our planet, hence we should name Tartarus actually as Icarus.

Probably. It seems likely that molecules won't be able to form in such a hot environment. Rather, it would be made of vaporized rocks broken down into their individual atoms and ionized by stellar radiation. So, essentially, Rock Plasma.
Do i assume the crusshing power is in the giga(?) Pascals. Would this mean we could have wierd forms of metals?
-
So what is the atmosphere most likely made of? Heavy materials like osmium or lighter metals?
-
also to top things off, jupiter's core is a mass of 14 to 18 earths, or 5% of it's mass. if we assume tartarus is a jupiter core of equal ratio, the mass of such a previous object would be 4000 Earths. thats 12.7 Jupiters. this means the planet was just light enough to not be considered a brown dwarf. with presure like that and high metalicity, it likely caused lots of pressure, and may have temporarily fused materials, however unlikely.

I have a question for some of the actual physicists here.
This arrangement can't be stable, right? The planet would be orbiting faster than the star is rotating, and if it's that close, wouldn't it be sweeping up and accumulating matter from the star? Solar wind, at the very least, if not actual contact. Wouldn't the planet be getting more massive, and therefore spiraling in? Granted, there's quite a bit of angular momentum in an orbiting planet, and the rate of accumulation relative to the overall mass of the planet might be small, but over astronomical timescales, it can't last forever.
Or conversely, is the planet being seared so intensely that it's losing mass like a comet, and therefore gradually getting farther away?
And how did it get there in the first place?
It's Simple; Someone left the oven on, and the propulsion from the oven top flames over billions of years pushed it closer, causing this affect.[jk]
Honestly, like Proto said, Tartatus spirals inward from gaining mass and then loosing it. it probably creates interesting skies, with plasma glowing in giant waves across the sky, dipping onto the planet and leaving. it would likely heat the planet much more, as essentially, the star is landing on the planet. great star mining location however.
Wait...

WE FORGOT ABOUT THE CORONA @ProtoJeb21! -

The atmosphere is more dense than some rocks? Now that makes more sense. Where do tidal forces fall into play here?
The tidal forces are 1 billion times stronger. this means anything with less density than 8.5 g/cm(?) gets ripped off. so rocks with lets say empty space or lighter elements get pulled up.
-
Just now, cubinator said:
I see. But wouldn't the atmosphere get pulled off too if that were the case?
The atmosphere is dense enough and heavy enough the gravity would keep it. low density rocks wont. think of the atmosphere as glue-like.
-
Just now, cubinator said:
Floating islands...due to tidal forces? So basically where the Lagrange points are?
Could you explain this to someone who's never heard of a planet with floating islands before?
Well, the tidal forces and gravity from the star is actually quite significant. reaching into very high gs challenging Kraken's gravitational well of in the higher ranks of 30+ gs. its likely super atmosphere weiging a few moons is very good at air resistance. large, less dense chunks would rip off of the planet and becuase of the highest drag in the universe, suspend in the air for millenia, perhaps longer. the islands would just float around. likely, they would only be a few inches of the ground or near exiting the planet's SOI, but if you are lucky, you could have masssive floating pieces of rock on the planet.

This is... I don't know. The true deep space kraken? The universe's source of all evil? Mr Shadow from the fifth element?
nah, its actually really nice to live on, you just need a few thermal suits, oxygen suits, and de-gravity devices. then you have the coolest planet to live on. with massive sky islands its looks really good.

Yeah that was one of my first planes. I have some better ones on the way tht have the highest turn capabilites possible. Just dont black out.

Okey dokey one more update.
I ran some sims with the numbers,and it seems that Kraken(I like the name better) ensues a quite massive amount of tidal stress. US2 useda Stress magnitude system, which earth has 0.00000104 on average. Kraken has uhhhh.... 13.6. that means at minimum it ensues 13076923.1 times the earths tidal forces. to negate gravity on earth, the tides would have to be 9800000 times as strong. with the forces from Hekili, 1.33437991 Gs on the day side would actually be Negated if Kraken rotated, and the same gs would go on the opposite side. the big problem is the forces from Hekili. it exerts on Kraken 51754023209959631900 TERRANEWTONS! compare that to earth's 35416557155 terranewtons, or in other words, the newtons from the star are 1 billion times as strong on kraken. This is plenty enough to rip apart most planets. its possible that massive structures such as floating islands like those in terraria exist, although likely gravel like. I so propose a name of Caelula, a mashup of the latin words for sky island.
@ProtoJeb21
Edit: Oh no its 18. that means its 17307692.3X. ;-; -
I left the oven on over on kraken. Sorry if it caused any...
...
Oh.
Sorry about that.
Ok honestly, the star should be attached a name. I recommend Hekili, hawiian for thunder, as the mythical kraken comes from the ocean during storms. kaʻino could be used, as it means storm.
Other names:
tonitrua
Science stuff:
So anylizing the parts of kraken's distance and size, likely low boiling point high density elements will contain it's atmosphere, with some lighter elements scattered about. Tungsten and osmium are likely candidates. However, kraken could have uranium clouds and rain on the back of the planet, permitted it gets "cold"

I kinda want to see interstellar adventure revived with principa and watch the chaos. Cheers.

If anyone wants to use the planet's, they are welcome to. This was really a test for me on building planets.

It is not like it was back then.
Active, fun, communitive and cooperative.
I just don't got anything to do.

Ok Honestly, i'm not the top fan of this, brush it up a lot, have someone do the descriptions for you, throw in some good scatter, and PLEASE sigma-binary, as that weird star orbiting star shenanigans will fix up with it. My main complaint is the textures. try adding more individual textures, and don't use other's textures. It's really rude to steal some one else's textures. Thanks, and i hope to see this mod fixed on up.
-
Ok since my last post was too harsh for the mods, ill tone it down quite a bit, and shorten it a bit too.
Things to do for the mod( and @SamBelanger):
1. improve them rocky textures. higher resolution and less reliance on pqs would be good, and remember not to use noise for height, as it breaks a bit.
2. Fix the map views, such as the overkill levels of brightness on planets, as they look really monochromatic. make it a lower scaledspace level.
3. use sigma binary. it will help with a lot of problems.
4. ring gaps and not just a plain gradient. will help a lot with how it looks.
5. eve+scatter: obviously will help.
6. a better logo, that looks more professional, and less square.
7. Description fixes. maybe have someone do these for you, as some of the grammar is off(I assume your main language is most likely french? correct me if im wrong.)
Things for StarMods(recommendations/suggestions obviously):
1.I don't recommend having people who ask be able to be starmods. have it so if it gains lots of popularity, it will be noticed by squad.
2. I recomend giving more detail than just than one sentence.
Hope this works better! -

K2-117c: This planet was stumbled upon by @Cabbink during May of this year. It is a little over twice the radius of Earth and has an eccentric (e = 0.15) orbit lasting 5.444820 days around a small orange dwarf. A search for Transit Timing Variations by Hirano et al. did not find any significant gravitational influences from this planet, suggested a volatile-rich composition.
Volatile rich? huh.
anyways, if i get any say in this, the unofficia name of the planet should be Palnos, a butchered version of the word "React" in Latin.
Thanks for the updates! -

@Cabbink do you have a GitHub account? If so, what is it? I'm putting together a WIP repository to allow people to submit on GitHub along with a Pull Request, and we can add them to the next release.
Dont. I'm thinking along the lines of downloading individual planets to put together.

Pfft. 1550m/s for mine.
(All in good jest, once again)
1550 seems to be about the limit, though. Attempts to get a stable cruise above that usually end in the plane breaking apart and exploding due to g-forces, or exploding and breaking apart due to overheating.
The brave kerbals of the ISSJ Test Program will forever be remembered... no, we're kidding, we forgot where we buried them.
It's simple. They are on bop.

Ahh, but can it cruise there?
if you call solar escape velocity in the atmosphere, constantly firing off decouplers, yes.

Thanks!
Mine can do 1430m/s...until it explodes.
54 minutes ago, qzgy said:Fact check, my smaller supersonic aircraft does 1450 m/s. Ha.
All in friendly jest, of course.
Neat plane though. Much cheaper than mine.
What is wrong with you all? i can accelerate a craft to Mach 100+ without engines or using any cheats. of course, i need lots of fairings to protect that. and a decoupler. good luck beating that.

Hey, at least it isnt as bad as tartarus. shudder
