I don't want to argue with you, but let me try to convince you it is a glitch. You are right that I cannot know for certain that it is a glitch, however that puts the burden of evidence on the players who claim to find new discoveries. It is also possible that it is an easter egg and so will not show up in the player's discovery inventory.

Spore no longer runs properly on my computer, but if it did, note that the system would have a different randomly generated name. The planets may also be random, but I'm not sure. However, the stars aren't. A few years back, Jursamaj rendered a map of the galaxy and claimed there were only 42,010 points, which I guess represents all the visitable stars and galactic objects.

Lets think about this, Spore has 5,139,418 registered users on my last visit to Sporistics, and no doubt many times more games have been played starting on different arms of the Spore galaxy. I find it hard to believe that there are undiscovered systems in Spore, with only 42000+ systems (there are stars that can't be accessed by the interstellar drive, but mods exist that make them accessible too). This red giant would have been discovered many many times over by eagle-eyed players. There might even be a chance of some users on Sporum right now who remember visiting this system even if they never reported it.

If you want to try and prove this red giant exists, be my guest. I'd like to see screenshots of just outside the system, and from inside the system. And to verify that it is not a glitch, I will get someone from SporeWiki to do the same in their game. If the red giant is in both games, it would be a great addition to the Easter eggs page. However, if you do not bring evidence or someone disproves it in the mean time, the red giant article may be merged with Glitches, or it will be deleted.

SporeWiki's main namespace functions as an encyclopedia, not a speculation dump. We deal with only verifiable facts on the main namespace.
