• I've added a bunch of planets to my game. Now I want to have a superweapon that fires big suns at players. Unfortunately when close its so bright you can't see anything. This is partially because of the bloom, partially because the object is bright itself. Does anyone have any creative solutions?

  Our Sun is 100x wider than Earth so assuming your space ships are a tiny fraction of Earth at the scale your camera is zoomed in the Sun would 100% dominate the entire field of view. To be realistic the camera view would be blinding white with no other detail. Now you said a "big sun" and since ours is average, a big star such as Betelgeuse would be 760x times the size of our Sun. Even if you pull the camera out... Source: 8 months ago

• Without looking it up, what color is the sun? ☀️

  Yellow. A yellow dwarf star, specifically. Trick question, since anyone who steps outside will see white light from a white source. Source: over 1 year ago

• I spent 7 years photographing the Orion Constellation to create this zoomable 2.5 gigapixel image, so you can grasp the scale of the Milky Way Galaxy.

  It must orbit a star (in our cosmic neighborhood, the Sun). Source: about 2 years ago

• Brief Information of all the planets in our area

  There are more planets than stars in our galaxy. The current count orbiting our star: eight. Source: over 2 years ago

• The Sun from Teletubbies vs The Moon from Majora's mask

  Also, just because the Teletubbies star is a baby doesn't mean it has to be much smaller than our Sun as scientists found a baby star roughly the same size of our own while only being ~17 million years old. Keep in mind that our own sun is still a yellow dwarf star that pails in comparison to many other stars in the universe. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Sunrise Solstice over Stonehenge [NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day]

  Explanation: Today the Sun reaches its northernmost point in planet Earth's sky. Called a solstice, many cultures mark this date as a change of seasons -- from spring to summer in Earth's Northern Hemisphere and from fall to winter in Earth's Southern Hemisphere. Precisely, the single time of solstice occurs today for some parts of the world, but tomorrow for other regions. The featured image was taken during the... Source: almost 3 years ago

• I would love to know if this black hole effect is realistic enough?

  Due to immense nature of process that creates a black hole, its body has significant amount of gravitational attraction. Amount of gravitational attraction is proportional to the weight of the body. Entire solar system, such as ours, with all the planets, moons, comets, asteroids and other bodies that revolve around the sun comprise just 0,2% of the mass of the solar system. The Sun, in the center, comprises the... Source: almost 3 years ago

  Oh you must misunderstood me. I wasn't advocating violence, merely that President Biden recognize that Mr. DeJoy's talents are wasted running the Postal Service when he could be assigned to NASA where they'd ensure he would be the first man to set foot on Sol using a prototype mass driver.
