YamiPoyo Um. No. The Moon takes 28 days to orbit, it goes through a rotation in 28 days, that's why months are approx. 30 days. The Earth rotates in 24 hours, which is why you see the moon rise roughly daily.
You are quite mistaken. The moon orbits the Earth fully every day (give or take). It also takes roughly the exact same time to rotate, which is why we only ever see one side of it from Earth. The 28 day cycle is of the sun-moon positioning. We take 28 days (roughly) to go from one full moon to the next, but we see the moon above us every night.
Lior Abel, the moon does not orbit the earth once a day. If it did then it's orbital speed would match the earth's rotation and it would never move across the sky, and consequently we would not have tides. Tides rise and fall in 12 hour cycles as any given point on the earth's surface rotates past the moon's position in the sky, which is why a location on the coast will receive a high tide every 12 hours. It takes a little over 27 days for the moon to orbit the earth, and that is why you see it repeatedly night after night. It moves much slower than the earth rotates, so we rotate past it rather than it orbiting past us. The 28 day cycle (the phases of the moon) is directly related to how long the moon takes to circle the earth, but you are correct that it also has to do with sun-moon positioning. Also, it takes the same amount of time for the moon to make a full rotation on its axis as it does to orbit our planet, which is why the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
When/ If the introduce atmospheric planetary landings I am heading straight to this location. I gotta see what this satellite looks like from the perspective of the planet. Woosh!
2424Goldie I doubt you’ll ever get atmospheric landings. It would require generating a shitload of plant and animal life and I don’t think their engine is set up for that
A random reply to a comment you wrote 3 years ago . . . I recently heard that "slow down" is a notification, not a warning. It shows up when you're being slowed down by gravitational interference.
The planet neither leaves orbit or breaks apart, could at its core just be a giant asteroid made of a new dense metal. Though that only explains why it won't break apart.
Maybe the moon is just a thin shell around a 99% vacuum core made of honeycombed ultralight carbon nanotubes. Still wouldn't explain what force makes it orbit so fast, but at least it would produce negligible tides on the planet if it were ultra-lightweight.
Problem is: for moon to be able rotate around so fast, Mass of Earth must be 200+ masses of Sun and orbital speed of Moon will be around 10 000km/s. This will rip moon apart in days. Try it in Universe Sandbox
That moment when you approach a _celestial body_ and realize it's actually approaching _you_ . The sudden rush of vertigo I got when my mind put the scale of that into perspective.
Got me thinking that it probably won't be very long until a game like Elite Dangerous has huge, realistic planets with multiple, (probably procedurally generated) biomes, where you could sit atop a mountain and watch the sunrise slowly sweep across the plains or ocean and watch the shadows play across the canyons below, while native creatures fly around you I would play that game.
Watching videos like this from E.D. and S.C. I imagine that if this was sent back to the mid 1950s (recorded onto film) the majority of people seeing it would freak out, especially by the music. ;-)
THE AMERICAN PATRIOT The Moon certainly doesn't exert ALL of the influence on Earth's tides, the Sun has some influence. However the Moon is the main cause for tides.
delamovies I tried it, I went THROUGH the planet and then on the OTHER side the game registered me "on" the planet and the orientation HUD that pops up when you enter an orbit (the thing that looks like the HUD fighter jets have) opened up, I was still way above the surface and I had to actually charge orbital cruise to get to the surface in a reasonable amount of time. was super trippy, scary af to watch the planetoid zoom towards me
orbital speed is a function of the mass of the big planet divided by the distance between the satellite and the big planet's center of mass. if the moon is close to the planet, it would have to orbit very fast in order to remain in orbit and not crash into the planet. This is why Pluto's orbit is so slow, it hasn't even completed a full orbit since its discovery, since it's so far from the sun.
I don't like it. The HUD Color on the ground view Radar while landing the ship doesnt Change to blue... well.. in fact it changes, but it doesnt help this way... should change to green or so... but this is not possible the way, everyone changes the hud colours.
well that's amazing, I started ED a bit over a week ago, and the other day I saw this video, and thought "whoa I gotta find the time to visit this place someday". Today I just got given a mission to land on it. I didn't even know it was so close to my main base of operation
Very cinematic after you deployed on surface. The sound of the rover was perfect as the huge planet passed by, rover unphased... unaware. Edit: Just got the the part when the rover just starts going crazy. Still Oscar worthy.
+Jett Quasar -- No, just close to the planet: the ISS orbits the earth in about 15 minutes. If you could curve the path of a photon around the Earth's surface it would circumnavigate the surface in a great circle route more than 10 times every second.

You guys know this was a glitch, right? Was a misplaced decimal point that the community told the devs not to fix cuz it was so cool! So, no, this isn't physically possible.
I did it last night. I thought the moon would hit me but it pulled me out of supercruise into the "atmosphere" and I was spinning with the moon around the planet without being on it.
It goes right through you as you are in the Planets instance instead of the the moons instance. Object collision is turned off for all non-instance objects

The word "moon" is a generic term for any natural satellite, but Earth's moon is just called "the Moon". This kind of confusion is why I think we should call it a proper name like Luna.

The ancient Greek name for such a heavenly body was plan s, which means "wanderer." The English word planet comes from the Greek plan s.
If you boost-jump at the orbit apoapse (or however its spelled) can your inertia independant of the moon throw your SRV off into space? Or do the momentum physics not work that way? (Like releasing something off the edge of a centrifuge)
Man, the tides on that planet would be batshit crazy. The moon is so close they would be huge, and so fast that they would come in and out every minute or so.
I wouldn't imagine if there was some haze and atmosphere on this planet too, that would be even more impressive to see when the main planet passes by...
At the time of formation of the moon, it was about 4 Earth-radii distant-that is, it was orbiting about 15,000-20,000 miles away, as opposed to the current average distance of 238,000 miles. The moon also took only 5hrs to orbit the earth, just a bit slower than 28 seconds....
Great! Reminded me how much I love this game. Now I'm going to wind up giving No Man's Sky and Stationeers another break and play some Elite Dangerous again. ❤️
There's a video which illustrates what the moon would look like if it was the same distance as the international space station, with this massive thing flying overhead, and a part of me wondered what it would be like (read: how terrifying it would be) in VR. But it looks like I can experience something very similar in Elite: Dangerous, and I have a VR headset. :D Also, I recognised Epsilon Indi as being relatively close, making it fairly easy to reach.
I had to chase a space station down just like this situation once in Frontier: Elite or FE 2, forget which one now lol.... but, I could never catch it, it just seemed to orbit faster and faster as I got close to the planet, and I chased the space station and never caught it..... that was one hell of a ride for the Station Staff....
When I started a few days ago I chased a station around orbit for like ten minutes pulling my hair out before I realized why I wasn't getting any closer.
I can't even comprehend how unlikely that must have been. I mean, you went straight, did a few flips, and then wedged yourself into a rock in the middle of an otherwise barren landscape.
This moon is so fast and so close to the parent planet. It would almost certainly get ripped apart by booth tidal forces and centripetal forces... Nice 👍
I HATE THIS MOON! When they had the Christmas event, one of the money caches was here. Luckily I was in my ASP so it wasn't nearly bonkers getting into it's orbit, but one of my friends was in his Anaconda and had to loop around twice so he could meet the moon and keep from being knocked out due to the speed of its orbit.
Its very weird that I have space phobia even though I never been to space. That slow(actually fast but look slow) approach to moon almost gave me a heart attack.
This reminds me of the Star Trek Voyager episod where they are stuck in the orbit of a planet(or something like that) and every second is like a year or so for the people in the planet.
Moments like these are what really tempt me to come back to ED. I miss my Cobra. I only wish it were more about exploration, aliens, and life in outer space...and less about loot grinding and shield cells.

Fun fact, the moon orbiting that fast was actually an error in some code. But the devs decided to leave it after it became so popular.

Serious Oh yeah and completely crash into the planet. This game isn't meant to be a NASA sim though.
It is a glitch, FD was about to fix it but the community wanted it to stay.
That's what I was gonna say. This moon while looking cool is completely impossible as it would be ripped apart that close to a planet.
If they wanted it to stay, I would just make it look like its in the process of falling apart. Still round but with rings and chunks.
Absolutely, it would turn into gravel and rain down on that lovely ocean world and turn it into a hellscape.

They wouldn't be that strong the water would even have the time to start moving in a single direction because the moon changes its position so fasy
This is insane. Can you imagine what a view this would be if our moon orbited Earth in just seconds.

Best way I can describe landing on it. You can't catch it, you have to ambush it.
That moon is well within the Roche limit, it should be a series of impact craters on the parent planet.

I HATE THIS MOON! When they had the Christmas event, one of the money caches was here. Luckily I was in my ASP so it wasn't nearly bonkers getting into it's orbit, but one of my friends was in his Anaconda and had to loop around twice so he could meet the moon and keep from being knocked out due to the speed of its orbit.
7:10 i was astonished for the moon, but much more for the guy that's riding
This is a very interesting place to build a further ground base after it will be added to the game. Thanx
Wow! Must be some crazy tides!
Its very weird that I have space phobia even though I never been to space. That slow(actually fast but look slow) approach to moon almost gave me a heart attack.
I will visit this moon again as soon as odyssey will launching its my favorite place
This reminds me of the Star Trek Voyager episod where they are stuck in the orbit of a planet(or something like that) and every second is like a year or so for the people in the planet.
Salut merci pour cette vidéo, je me souvient que je me suis cracher plein de fois sur cette planète particulaire
The tidal forces the moon would exert on the planet would make it uninhabitable. 0/8, breaks my immersion with unrealism.
Moments like these are what really tempt me to come back to ED. I miss my Cobra. I only wish it were more about exploration, aliens, and life in outer space...and less about loot grinding and shield cells.
looks awesome!!
That orbit would totally fuck with the oceans.
5:43 that looks so trippy
A physically impossible place to survive - the gravitational forces would rip anything apart.
