Hello,Space Engine Community,
I think i found something very interesting:A galaxy with neither stars,nor clusters nor nebulae!
It's an E7-type galaxy and is named RG-0-8-14680064-639.(I am using 0.971)
My question is:Is this a bug or something discovered already in real life?

I can see plenty of stars in that galaxy. In elliptic galaxies, the outer regions are usually very sparsely populated, so you have to get a bit closer to the centre to see the stars. If you still can't see them there, you've probably got procedural stars turned off.

I'm sorry to revive this, but I think I also found an empty galaxy...
RG 0-8-7487668-284
My SpaceEngine 0.971 gives no information on stars, nebulae and clusters at all, and going inside the galaxy generates nothing...

I restarted the programme and the galaxy kicked in. 10 bln stars. Weird. Must be a glitch.

1) The universe is not old enough for that to have happened.
2) Where would the light be coming from if there were no stars?
