| Ooh, that's pretty!
So far, I have six of the twelve planets placed, with moons. But this last moon gave me a chuckle.
I was tempted to keep it the way it came out, but I finally got it looking right...

Actually, this is quite simple. This is our moon - the diameter 100 times smaller! 
Don't forget to look here.

| The planet you created makes no sense, it would make more sense to have on it a planet 9 like orbit, or maybe a Tyche like orbit.
1. Would really screw up the solar system
2. Could collide with Jupiter Or possibly end up in a complex binary system with it... displacing all the moons...
3. It's orbit isn't clear so it should be a dwarf planet by the IAU standards (Which is absolute insanity) and it might send a wave of asteroids through the solar system.
4. Would devastate the earth
Toutatis.

| The planet's not designed to go in the Solar System. He just put it there for testing.
It's designed for a 14.3 AU orbit around a G5 IV star. It'll be number 9 of 12.

| A Nemesis planet, perhaps?

| Okay... I'll have to look that one up, but the context leads me to believe it would be rather destructive.

| steeljaw354,
You need not to worry about our solar system. I have now placed the planet in another system.
Quote admiralsirjohn ( ) A Nemesis planet, perhaps?
A Nemesis system is here.
But it's not entirely up to date and will not work with SE 0.974 RC3.
Don't forget to look here.

| If I remember correctly, before the Celestia community went kaput, someone made an improved version of StarGen, after which a second community member took over and greatly enhanced StarGen even further. The last available version allowed circumbinary star system generation, large amounts of moons, and listed detailed atmosphere compositions. It was pretty cool. 
Specs: Dell Inspiron 5547 (Laptop); 8 gigabytes of RAM; Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz; Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (That's all there is :( )
