I've recently managed to download an extremely useful program. It's Space Engine, incredible amount of alghorithms packed to mess which is able to reflect observable universe. It's power lies also in graphics - engine is aboslutely great, and despite some bugs (like cut-in-half cyclones) it grants unique graphics quality that could be compared to next-gen titles.

But what does I mean by that? Let's take a look at program.

In the pictures below you can see Rosalia - a planet which I've managed to find and add to Fiction Universe, as main planet of Slav Republic.

First, how the Rosalia looks: That's the planet itself. It's also the moon of the much bigger Gas Giant, Acreol: And both celestials bodies togehter: Rosalia is trurly the most beautiful planet I've found in Space Engine. On photo below - Giant desert spreading across 1/4 of planet's surface: And that's not all. Space Engine is also capable of rendering planet's surface, though you can rarely find a planet with both interesting look and terrain. And though Rosalia maintains life, that's how it's surface looks:

As you can see, Space Engine is incredibely useful software, capable of creating so so beautiful celestial bodies.

Also I know that you might not want to download, install and explore (But i waaaaant), I can find and prepare screenshots of a planet, but I need some info about planet that you wish:

a) Whether it is rocky or gas planet; b) What type of rocky planet it should be (Molten, Terra, Titan-like, Desert, Arid, Moon-like, Asteroid, With life/no life) c) Which colour you wish, though star's light can manipulate the colour of planet's atmosphere, so if you don't mind the light, then write below.

Space Engine is amazing, and I'm sure you'll like it.
