Another wider angle shot

First pictures from the M59 galaxy. Here I come across a 7 planet system orbiting an orange giant. All the planets in this system are experiencing the effects of the expanding sun, and orbit relatively close to the sun. The outer-most ice giant orbits just 3.62 AU from the sun.

I just unfortunately found out that Tumblr does not allow posts with links in them to show up on searches. This is very problematic for me since I like posting 4K resolution pics on here. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep Tumblr from reducing image sizes so I do not have to add links to my posts?

Another beautiful aurora shot, looking towards a gas giant under a hazy atmosphere. The Andromeda galaxy is visible to the right of the picture as a hazy bright spot just below the aurora.

The Andromeda Galaxy will be the next galaxy I will be exploring in space engine beginning next month.

Triangulum Log - Blue Veil System - Post 2 (Inner Giants)

The inner two planets of the system, a hot ice giant and warm gas giant.

The inner planet orbits 0.16 AU from the sun, has a mass 12 times that of Earth and an average atmospheric temperature of 813° F.

The second world is a Saturn-like gas giant with an impressive ring system. It orbits 0.64 AU from the sun, has a mass of 82 Earths, and a single large satellite orbiting it.

R136a1 System

A visit to a more familiar system in the Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy. The program depicts a large gas orbiting the star at a distance of 738.59 AU along with several large moons.

R136a1 is believed to be the most massive known star with a mass 315 times that of our sun. The star shines with a luminosity of 8.7 million suns. The gas giant even at its extreme orbital distance of 738.59 AU, still receives more solar radiation than Earth.

My first posts will be from systems located within the Triangulum Galaxy. The above 3 images were taken from Space Engine of the galaxy. The background galaxy in the images is Andromeda.

For those of you that are not familiar with the Triangulum Galaxy, it is the third largest member of the local group, sometimes considered a satellite galaxy of Andromeda. The galaxy is also known as M33, NGC 598 or the Pinwheel Galaxy. Approximately 40 billion stars reside within this spiral galaxy. It is believed that the galaxy lacks a central supermassive black hole and central halo.
