| Quote abrasax (  ) I thought white dwarfs are relatively stable with lifespans longer than the age of the universe.
They exist as white dwarfs for at least a few billion years, that's what I meant.

nspired by my recent kayak hike, and looking on a work of Spock1108, I made my version of semi-realistic-semi-fake terrain model of Titan. It have 16k resolution near poles, where famous seas and lakes of liquid hydrocarbons can be found.
The original map where seas and lakes are visible have resolution of 12k x 6k, while there more hi-res images of some areas exist. Maybe in the future, when the new hi-res global map will be released by NASA, I will update this fake elevation map.
From the surface, resolution is very low (of course - the map is just 8-16k), and some artefacts are visible - not precise transition from land to water liquid methane. This will be solved when procedural terrain refinement will be implemented.
It's beautiful! Thank you so much to have continued my work and bringing him where I could not! 
Sorry for my English! ;)

| Quote SpaceHopper ( ) Well, you can find planets with life orbiting white dwarves that are not in planetary nebulae. Those stars, by the way, take a few billion years to die, enough for life to form.
But planetary nebula exist just 10,000 years and then vanished. Not enough time to even coalesce debris into new generation of planets, not talking about life.
Quote SpaceHopper ( ) And here's something else I found...R136a1 (which is supposed to be a single star) is bifurcated in 0.980. I hope this gets fixed in the next version. And I wonder if anyone else has seen bifurcated catalog single stars in 0.980.
Catalog stars are not bifurcated since 0.972. If you find a binary catalog star, this mean what it is indeed binary. Cirax made huge work making the binary stars catalog for SE.
Quote Bambusman ( ) did he always had that fabulous beard
LOL it is not so fabulous right now, but sometimes it is. I'm trying to look more brutal than I am in reality

I wonder how many users here have a Vive or a Rift, if Vive support is added then Rift CV1 will also work as well thanks to OpenVR.

| Version: 0.9.7.4 RC3
A couple of bugs found.
1. In some binary systems comet tails only show if you click on them?
2. The right panel in the Universe Map sometimes does not close and remains stuck on screen.
3. Planet Shine - Super mode: has a bug where a bright moon (Which is lighting up the dark side of a planet) then becomes eclipsed, this then often causes a 'Christmas tree' light affect to happen (Flickers green,red,blue) when there should be NO light at all. Setting the Planet shine to 'Simple' or 'Normal' OR sometimes turning of 'Dithering' also helps?
4. Also as reported in previous posts the docked ships not remaining docked when reloading still exists.
That's all for now.
p.s Apologies in advance if these bugs have already been repeatedly reported.

Well, here is what R136a1 looks like in 0.980:
It wasn't binary in 0.974 RC3. And according to Wikipedia it's supposed to be a single star.

| Eta Carinae is also bifurcated in 0.98, with planets, and yes my star bifurcation is set to false.
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 :( )

| I looked for some procedural Wolf-Rayet stars, and they were all binary. I'm guessing all Wolf-Rayet stars are being bifurcated somehow.

| [Edit] Now at home I realize that both stars are not in the catalog of binary stars, LOL  [Edit]
I'm not at home to mention the exact sources I used to add this stars, I will take a look, meanwhile just looking in SIMBAD:
Eta car is binary if you look to the names:
simbad eta carinae
There is an eta car A and an eta car B, but I will check the source about it's separation
About R136a1 looking with its coordinates I found this:
R136a1 Simbad
There is a star named BAT99 108 (another catalog name for R136a1), but at 0.11 asec there is BAT99 109 also a massive WR star, because both stars are so massive most probably are in fact bounded (if it's separation it's not apparent).
By the way wiki is a good orientation tool but a lot of times is highly incomplete or outdated.
Later
My work for SE: Click here
Textures for Venus surface in color and the moons of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Catalogs of binary stars, brown dwarfs, black holes and neutron stars.
Proxima b (3 versions).

| But both stars (R136a1 and Eta Carinae) are not as double stars in the catalog. That SE makes these stars to binary stars, is a bug!
Don't forget to look here.

I have a CV1 and would love to see this supported again (this time with headlook decoupled from move direction )
