Another Interstellar Visitor | Update 35.3

[p][/p][p]Watch the third-ever discovered visitor from outside our Solar System, 3I/ATLAS, fly past the Sun and see how it compares it to other known interstellar interlopers. We’ve also improved the view that shows what parts of the surface of a planet are illuminated, updated our scientific notation, and more![/p][p] [/p][h3]In the Light of Day[/h3][p]The Daylight view now shows surface illumination of a planet in real-time as the object rotates and orbits within the simulation. Previously it was a static snapshot of the daylight on a planet.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Comets from Beyond the Solar System[/h3][p]Watch the comet 3I/ATLAS, the third-ever discovered interstellar visitor to our Solar System, pass by on its journey through space and compare the trajectories of all three known interstellar visitors. Find them under[/p][p]Home > Open > Interstellar Comet 31/ATLAS[/p][p]Home > Open > Interstellar Object Trajectory Comparison[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Scientific Notation[/h3][p]Astronomically large (and small) numbers are already hard to understand, so we’ve updated our scientific notation to be friendlier: “1 × 10^#" (previously we used “1E+#”). Try changing Earth’s mass to 1x10^6 Earth masses and see what happens to the Solar System.[/p][p][/p][h3]More Highlights[/h3][p]Watch what would happen to Earth if the Moon were replaced with a black hole of the same mass or the same radius. Which simulation do you think will be more destructive? Check them out under

[/p][p][/p][p]See small objects in your simulation even faster by turning on Markers by pressing “m” (previously “i”) on your keyboard. No need to go all the way to View > Markers.
[/p][p][/p][p]You can once again add custom colors to your human scale objects to make purple cows and pigeon rainbow.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Check out the full list of What's New in Update 35.3.[/p][p][/p][p]Please report any issues on our Steam forum, on Discord, or in-game via Home > Send Feedback.[/p]
