Oculus System - Post 1 (Introduction)
We are now inside the giant NGC 604 Nebula. I’ve come across this wide binary system consisting of a F4 giant that is almost 16 times brighter than Earth’s sun and a smaller, but still bright G0V type star more than twice the brightness of Sol. The first worlds I am exploring are the ones orbiting the smaller or secondary of the two stars.
Descriptions of the planet’s to follow in the next post.

For scientists watching the Red Planet from our orbiters, the past month has been a windfall. “Global” dust storms, where a runaway series of storms create a dust cloud so large they envelop the planet, only appear every six to eight years (that’s 3-4 Mars years). Scientists still don’t understand why or how exactly these storms form and evolve.

Venus-like world with two moons in orbit. I had to use the editor in Space Engine to get a true Venus-Like appearance for this world.
I am not a fan of how some of the planets appear in the game, luckily an editor is provided in order to make some of these worlds appear more realistic.
