| I found this a few years ago when I was talking to a friend about infinity. And how I wanted a bit of software that simulated a universe for me to explore. He sent me this, so thanks Lyoko. You're the best.

| I found it a week ago. I was watching some videos from Outerra on YouTube and I had a video about Space Engine in the related videos. And now I'm here.

| I found it by watching one of Kurtjmac's videos. The first thing i did is get so confused that my head almost popped from the controls.
Jupiter is Awesome!

If he will make a video for future 0.9.7 version, a flood of new people will discover it

| I found it from some article that mentioned the best space simulators. This was listed as number 1. I can see why. Playing this thing in 5670 x 1080 resolution is amazing. Oh God!

| Quote (Fireinthehole) I first used Celestia, and played around in it a lot, I really liked it and thought it was the best space simulating program. But Celestia has a many bad sides. For example it doesn't simulate eye adoption, doesn't have stars in other galaxies and no terrain on planet surfaces. And most important, the development has stopped! I searched around for a better substitute, and I eventually found this site. I first saw the mod "32k Moon map", and I seriously thought it was a photography. After that, I decided that Space Engine is far more better than Celestia.
Same here...

I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

| 4chan's an okay place but you've got to be careful what boards you look at, unless you're already desensitized to weird stuff on the internet. 
As for me, I discovered Space Engine when it was posted on another forum. Thought it looked awesome, but I didn't have the hardware to run it and so I forgot about for a while. Later on after I'd upgraded my graphics card I saw a video of SE on youtube which reminded me to try it out.

| Hmm... I actually found it totally at random. I was looking for "planet textures" through google images. From there I got to a universe sandbox forum (never heard of US before) and on that forum's "other games" section, I found Space Engine.
I fell in love with it quickly. Reminds me of Noctis, only with nicer graphics and more modern interface.
My first session was pretty cool, though I had to learn the various key bindings, which was a pain at first, but after some 2 hours I became familiar with most.
I started my tour by looking at some "famous" stars - Fomalhaut, Betelgeuse, Vega, alpha Centauri, Eta Eridani.
Then I decided to look at some systems I knew from SF. That's how I went to places like Lambda serpentis (didn't find an oceanic planet with life though )
Now exploring Lyra star systems. Great fun.
