Finally I can get back to working on Photoshop spacescapes. Woo!
This is a rather small image ( I prefer larger ones, but oh well) but I think it turned out great. I'm still having to rebuild my planetary database though, so making planets is a pain. But at least I'm back to mapping out the distant reaches of the universe through the power of CS.
Mu Arae is a fifth magnitude (5.15) class G (G3) subdwarf-dwarf (implying it has given up core hydrogen fusion or is about to) that lies at a distance of 50 light years. Its temperature of 5813 Kelvin and luminosity 1.7 times that of the Sun leads to a radius 1.3 times solar and reveals a mass 10 percent greater than that of the Sun. Like the majority of planet-holding stars, Mu Arae is metal-rich, with an iron content (relative to hydrogen) that is double solar. The star rotates more slowly than the Sun, with a period of about 27 days.
Mu Arae Beta orbits in 311 days (0.85 years), has a mass of at least 0.52 times that of Jupiter, and averages 0.92 Astronomical Units from the star (138 million kilometers, 86 million miles). The orbit has only a seven percent eccentricity, which carries the planet between 0.98 and 0.86 AU from the star.
As always...
...See ya around the galaxy...

Extrasolar planets are an interesting subject to me, so this render is very interesting (and it looks pretty realistic) to me.
