Kerbal Starfield

Recommended Posts

I've never seen anybody post about this: Can we glean anything from the starfield as seen in the Kerbal solar system?

In the Southern hemisphere, there's one particularly large/bright star that might suggest we're in a binary system.

in the Northern hemisphere, there's a blob that I guess is supposed to be a nebula. Or maybe a distant galaxy....

Could it be that this starfield is a simulation of what it might look like x number of lightyears from Earth, or do we assume it was completely randomly generated?

Anybody make constellations out of the patterns? Jeb the Archer, or whatever....

Well, all I've ever done along these lines is to have the Kerbals name the galactic disk (seen edge-on along the ecliptic). They call this the "Sacred Strut" that holds the halves of the heavens together. This comes from the creation myth I made up for them.

I've never gotten to the point of naming constellations after minor mythological figures, mostly because I lack the imagination and because since the most ancient times, Jeb has been the only hero Kerbals have needed :).
