Wow, you win !
So fast.
Edit : by the way, there could be a bug in such galaxies : all the stars I clicked on were blue main sequence stars...
Want some music of mine ? Please go here !

There are others, but blue main sequence stars seem to be much more prevalent.

| Oh, this forked? Voekoevaka, you anarchist you... 
OK, let's put some order into this. Tangle10, it's your turn to put up an image. Then it's HarbingerDawn's, then whoever guesses Tangle10's, and so forth. Unless one of them passes, of course.
They let me use this!

| Oh! Sorry I wasn't on.
Probably easy to guess, but whatever it's cool.
Tips for finding Earth-Like planets: Look for F, G, or K Class stars. M class habitables will almost always be tidelocked. Oceanias can, of course, also be habitable, they just have tiny amounts of land.

| anonymousgamer, you're not right but somewhere near it.

| White, or maybe yellow, star on the left, orange star on the right, a bunch of asteroids/comets in the background (markers are on). Also, this is somewhere to the galactic south: the magellanic clouds are visible, plus a sliver of the Milky Way.
Oh, yes, and the planet itself looks like a gas giant. It can also be an ice giant, though...

| JCandeias, very close but the number of stars is a bit higher. And yes, it's a gas giant. A frozen one.

| Well, I don't think we should demand people to guess stuff that isn't guessable by looking at the pictures. For instance, if a planet revolves around two very close M stars, it'll look exactly as it would look if it revolved around a single M star, in which case it doesn't make sense to demand people to say it's two stars, not one.
This, as a general rule. Here, there might be signs of a third star indeed, so let's try again.
White, or maybe yellow, star on the left, orange star on the right, a third star, possibly yellow (but it can also be hotter and more distant), behind and to the bottom right, a bunch of asteroids/comets in the background (markers are on). Also, this is somewhere to the galactic south: the magellanic clouds are visible, plus a sliver of the Milky Way. And the planet itself is a gas giant.

| It's not that. There is no third star to the bottom right. All extra stars are on one of the sides.

Then it's impossible to get that information from this picture and there's no point in trying to guess. This isn't a guessing game - it's a deduction game. It stops once the elements you can use to deduct stuff from are exhausted, which is clearly the case. Maybe there's a M/F star combo to the right, maybe it's a K star -- if the effect on the planet is the same, both answers are possible and both are correct.
So I win, and I pass.
HarbingerDawn, it's your turn to put a picture up. Next will be whoever gets it right.
