Haha sorry I thought you were asking for star systems No pressure, but I thought kepler was pretty interesting.

I give you:- Kepler -90 which has 7 known planetary bodies. [TABLE=class: wikitable] [TR] [TH=align: center]Companion (in order from star)[/TH] [TH=align: center]Mass[/TH] [TH=align: center]Semimajor axis (AU)[/TH] [TH=align: center]Orbital period (days)[/TH] [TH=align: center]Eccentricity [/TH] [TH=align: center]Inclination[/TH] [TH=align: center]Radius[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]b[/TD] [TD]â€â€[/TD] [TD]0.074[/TD] [TD]7.008151[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [TD]89.4°[/TD] [TD]1.31 R⊕[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]c[/TD] [TD]â€â€[/TD] [TD]0.089[/TD] [TD]8.719375[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [TD]89.68°[/TD] [TD]1.18 R⊕[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]d[/TD] [TD]â€â€[/TD] [TD]0.32[/TD] [TD]59.73667[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [TD]89.71°[/TD] [TD]2.88 R⊕.[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]e[/TD] [TD]â€â€[/TD] [TD]0.42[/TD] [TD]91.93913[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [TD]89.79°[/TD] [TD]2.67 R⊕[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]f[/TD] [TD]â€â€[/TD] [TD]0.48[/TD] [TD]124.9144[/TD] [TD]0.01 [/TD] [TD]89.77°[/TD] [TD]2.89 R⊕[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]g[/TD] [TD]â€â€[/TD] [TD]0.71[/TD] [TD]210.60697[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [TD]89.8°[/TD] [TD]8.13 R⊕[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]h[/TD] [TD]â€â€[/TD] [TD]1.01[/TD] [TD]331.60059[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [TD]89.6°[/TD] [TD]11.32 R⊕[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [h=3]Kepler-90b and c[/h] Kepler-90b is 31% larger than Earth and Kepler-90c is 19% larger. Kepler-90b and c orbit in a 5:4 mean-motion resonance. This means that in the time it takes Kepler-90b to orbit the star five times, Kepler-90c orbits the star exactly four times so that the planets always meet at the same positions. Similar resonances also exist in the inner moons of Jupiter. [h=3]Kepler-90d, e and f[/h] Planet Kepler-90d orbits the star with a period of 60 days. This is comparable to the orbital period of Mercury around the Sun. It is 2.9 times the size of Earth, making it a super-Earth or a mini-Neptune. Since the mass is only estimated, it is not yet possible to decide which of the two classes this planet belongs to. The planet Kepler-90e is the same size as Kepler-90d (2.7 times Earth's radius). Kepler-90f is 2.9 times Earth's size. These three planets are in 2:3:4 resonance with circular orbits.[3] [h=3]Kepler-90g and h[/h] Kepler-90g and Kepler-90h are gas giants with 8 times and 11 times the diameter of Earth, and have orbital periods of 211 and 331 days, respectively. Kepler-90g could be orbited by a moon.[3] The distance of the outermostplanet Kepler-90h, to its star is about 1.01 AU, or about the average distance between Earth and the Sun. Kepler-90h is on the inner edge of the habitable zone with an equilibrium temperature of 292 K (19 °C, 66 °F) No information on moons unfortunately

The Kerbodyne Loop & Land Sprint
KerBlam replied to Wanderfound's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
HAHAHAHA no no noooooo nope! I can't slow this thing down enough to land on the runway, even at a dead stall and gliding it in, I'm still around 150m/s... endless fiery deaths. What a fidgety little plane! I need more practise. -
No, you are not alone. Spiral out friend.
-
Poodle-que! Excellent! Appropriately, I think we can rig up some kind of a thing with struts and rover wheels to keep the bacon moving over the poodle.
-
I'm imagining that the race was advanced enough that they could construct a dyson-sphere to utilise 100% of the energy of their host planet, and they are traversing the galaxy searching for another race to share their knowledge with... They are also insanely good-looking.
-
I mean, really, what are you the KSP Nahtzee? (super relevant joke, tongue in cheek, no offense intended)
-
That's essentially what every planet is doing anyway, but if you mean by strapping huge boosters to it, then I highly approve!
-
It all sounds very subjective to me. If someone else likes playing KSP a certain way, how does it affect you? Considering it's a game without any kind of competitive aspects I really don't see how can anything be considered cheating. Especially in the game's current format where you have the ability to configure things to suit your needs. All in all it's about whatever makes the user happy isn't it? Some people use mechjeb for everything. Good on them, it's not how I play, but that's my choice. Myself, I just really like building things in space, and I'm trying to do it quite methodically while timewarping as little as possible. The size of the solar system suits me fine, and the dynamic provided by FAR means I have to think more about design to get larger objects into space. The 'balance' of the game is completely subjective, as I still create my own goals and I'm finding these to be challenging enough. I'm still a year away from my closest suitable transfer window between planets, but that's completely off-topic. All in all, I disagree with your judgement of people who aren't doing it your way.. I don't necessarily think everybody wants complete realism, but they do want something other than stock. FAR has made getting a rocket into orbit 'feel' more natural, and the same for flying planes around Kerbin. I don't know what the deal with Stock wing dynamics was, but it was wierd, especially the infiniglide thing...Now they behave much more like actual planes, and stupid designs no longer work.

Here is an article from the Gemini Observatory, which contains a link to the research paper on this ESO (Extra-Solar Object) They describe it as a 'reddest known field dwarf'!

See the little number in the top right of the post box? Right click that.

To celebrate my 100th post I give you all; UNLIMITED BACON FOREVER! With love: KerBlam!

You can have your silly hill. I have my own hill, and you don't want it, because I have urinated on it. Therefore: My hill.

Let's talk performance ... or lack thereof

The first Asian country to land on Mars/Poll

What do you guys think about Rogue Planets? They say this one PSO-J3185-22 is about 80ly from earth, and is a relatively young planetoid/planemo without a star. How is it possible? Not enough matter to create a star? Ejected from orbit by another, larger massive object? Or is it the Death-Star?
-
I also said fiction, because that's what it is... Having said that however, it is my favourite fictional solar system ever.

I voted 'No Tv and Rent' but the place I'm renting came unfurnished.
-
I have a Screen, but it is only EVER used as a monitor for the media centre in my living room.. 'Television' doesn't happen in my house, mostly because I cannot abide by commercials. Always good music playing though

Lonely space potatoes?

Nothing particularly, but it is more difficult than stock to get a functional design.
