| Hey guys, check out this find I made. When I found it, I thought 'Hey, that kind of looks like Iapetus." and it in fact IS a two toned moon, one side is light and the other side dark.
Edit: Okay, not that unique as the next gas giant down in that system has a moon that looks similar.

I found an even more Iapetus-like moon a while ago:

| Quote (Antza2) I'm wondering, would it be possible to download all the textures from Google Earth and put them in SpaceEngine?
Doubt that would work with formatting and even if you did manage to stitch them all together and then make a giant ultra high resolution texture map you would have hundreds of GBs of data, if not more.
I doubt the engine could handle it, or your PC

That's what i thought. Maybe it would be possible to add procedural detail on top of the original texture.
Go to antza2.deviantart.com for cool photos!

Like set locations where mountains would be generated. Or different level of detail textures meaning some parts of the planet are more detailed than others.

| I've posted this in the bug report thread already, but it's still an awesome thing to put in here. 
A few minutes before impact, watch in real time.

| Darkening of driven (leading) hemisphere of icy moons is caused by extra radiation generated by gas giant's magnetosphere. Magnetosphere is rotating with planet in the same direction as normal (prograde) satellites, but usually faster than them. So particles captured by magnetosphere being accelerated and bomb the driven hemisphere, making it darker. Retrograde satellites and prograde that rotate faster than a planet (like Phobos) will have the leader hemisphere darker. SE has a script/editor option that controls darkening - "drivenDarkening".

| smjjames, fantastic discovery! It's amazing watching the temperature readout for the planetoid ticking up, up, up!

It is your attention to details such as this that makes me so impressed with Space Engine.
That and just how beautiful it looks.

| Solaris, I would not have thought it possible for you to get even better than you already were at making screenshots, but it seems that you have done just that. Very beautiful images!
