Solar-Sim Devlog

Solar-Sim’s count of tracked Solar objects reached 100 today, thanks to the addition of moons for Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. More moons for Jupiter through Neptune will be added over the coming weeks.

For moons with currently unknown diameters, I’ve defaulted them to 5 kilometers. All moons added today use the “plain ol’ white sphere” as their 3D model, so they’re not exciting to look at… but they do appear in their best-known positions using the latest available data (thanks to the Cassini mission).

Of all of the outer planets, Saturn is the one with the most moons (40) currently in Solar-Sim. As stated above, more moons will be added and both Jupiter & Saturn will eventually exceed 50 satellites each.

Saturn isn’t properly tilted on its rotational axis right now, so its moons might not appear in their appropriate position with respect to Saturn’s ring system. Fixing this is on my “to-do list” as well!
