MPL3D Solar System - Galaxy tour

[SuperUniverse555]

@mpl3d What is that kind of binary star at 5:01?

[TheHazardousMind]

Yay! I can see my house from up here! 1:05

[mpl3d]

@TheHazardousMind, hehe :)

what's the date/time when the star is sucked in yo the black hole(full cycle)

[mpl3d]

@titanicice19, the star swallowed by the black hole is a fictitious one, so there is no particular time or date.

Inside the simulation program, just wait a moment near the black hole until a fictitious star appears. Remember that you can speed up the time clock.

It is fictitious because such event has an average of 10,000 years to happen.

[SuperUniverse555]

@mpl3d Where can you find the black hole in this?

[mpl3d]

@SuperUniverse555, there are several ways to do this. Just press -Left- Control Key once, when orbiting a star or planet, or keep pressing it until you get there.

This should take the camera to Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Currently this is the only black hole represented.

what's the date/time when the star is sucked in

[lzoli18B]

there's a real future for these simulators. Think of stellar evolution, expanding nebulas and colliding galaxies being accurately depicted with modern technology and computing power; besides being educational, it would offer a very cool show

[mpl3d]

@lzoli18B, yes that is a good idea. We have pondered that line of development, and it is not discarded. It is just in a long list of possible improvements.

Right now v1.3 will focus in an user customizable spaceship mode, along with improved graphics and other enhancements.

[SuperUniverse555]

@mpl3d Where can you find that kind of star at 2:32?

[mpl3d]

@SuperUniverse555, that star is named Enif. A pulsating star in Pegasus, 216 times the Sun. Here viewed in accelerated time. You can use the 'Star Selector' to find it by name. A very interesting case indeed.

I got problems with the download. because of this main.exe thing that doesn't work:-(

[mpl3d]

@tsr96pithaya, installing Microsoft DirectX 9 usually solves the problem.

If you need further assistance, please send us a message describing the problem.

Hope you get it working soon.

[SeeDv1]

HD quality and this is amazing

[Xsavior1000]

Wow this is an absolutely wonderful video of the Milky Way Galaxy. Great job =D

[mpl3d]

Thanks!

[ScorchingFuzz]

There's so much to see in this program, I recommend it to anyone interested in astronomy.

[KadoatieXD]

i like how lava planets have deep blue atmospheres

[swcwboy]

3:29 disco ball stars!

[trans4mers8454]

Is stellar evolution simulated in mpl3d

i.e. can the sun becume a red giant if you speed time up enough?

[mpl3d]

That is not represented, at this moment it only simulates +/- 10,000 years from now.

[goodatlinerider]

At 0:44 there is the rings around the planets showing their orbit, how do you turn that on and off?

[mpl3d]

Orbit plot can be turned On/Off with the 'O' key. Also from the top menu->Data->Orbits.

Also, at that point of the video, reduced orbits are set. Press 'S' or top menu->Special->Orbit size, to cycle between available orbits size.

[goodatlinerider]

Wow I downloaded this I love it!! I just wish it was not so expensive =( Its so much fun and useful!

[mpl3d]

Thank you very much.

We set a symbolic price (or at least we consider that it is symbolic) to cover maintenance and updates.

Nevertheless, currently there is published a 50% off in the user forum. Just register there and you'll be able to read the discount code.

Congratulation for make this beautiful video!! excelent job..dear friend, 5+5* pier

[mpl3d]

Thanks, Earth is a wonderful planet, and the only place where we can live. We should realize about that.

[Zipstacracksta]

This is awesome.
