I love this game for times like these

Sunrise over Kerbin at the core of my Orbital Researcher, in a near perfect circular orbit (Ap 88.4k, Pe 84.4k, 0.1m/s more and I would've made a perfect circle)

Honestly such a pretty game.

Sunrise from orbit is always a good sight. Personally I find the game a little bland visually, but then that's because I have to have the graphics turned down. On a good PC with some visual mods though it can look really great.

Wonder if we'll ever get proper looking eclipses? I recall discussion that Unity has issues with actually letting the Mun shadow Kerbin, but it couldn't be that hard to fake by dimming the light levels when an eclipse is on surely?

oh lord imagine an eclipse while in orbit during sunrise, a rare but amazing combination

I had one of those once! The eclipsed sun broke over the horizon just as the docking ports finally met between my lander and the transit vehicle that took it out to Duna.

That mission ended up stranding three kerbals on the surface of Duna AND crashing the transit vehicle into Ike, so I guess eclipse sunrises are hardly a good-luck charm (or maybe that was when I had only been playing for a couple weeks and was a huge noob ). I think I a have the screenshots somewhere, but that was a lot of versions ago.

The light effects are amazing however the terrain lacks big time.

I assume that's laythe. How can the terrain lack when that's the whole point of the moon? (water, few islands)

[Red Iron Crown]

Jool rising as seen from Laythe orbit is the most beautiful sight in the game, IMO. Nice shot of it, Tripzter.

I also wish there were proper eclipses and that moon shadows appeared on the parent planet (same thing I guess). As I understand it that's a Unity limitation, but hopefully someone clever will figure out a way around it.

I need to unlock Heavier rocketry so I can visit further celestial bodies

I so want to find out what those asteroids are

Well it's the journey that counts, right?

KSP is truly a special game. Not only has KSP reignited my passion for astronomy and rocketry, I also have learned so much about the sciences as well. Also, KSP has the best community I have ever seen. Forums, Reddit, Curse, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, there's just so much to do and so many people to talk with! I LOVE KSP! I give an 11 out of 10!

For me, here are a couple of special moments that I just happen to capture in a picture.

One day I shall return and land here and look up at the Jovian planet in the sky.

Sometimes, things just don't add up.

I guess this is kind of purty.
