Planet OTZ HELP!

[gLing]

I want to make a planet OTZ for celestia.
Look up in the night sky and pick a star in your favorite constellation and I will make a solar system around that star. I need to know which one so I can make planet OTZ a party planet at just the right distance from the star.

Erm...the north star has always been my favorite for guiding and saving sailors when the've been lost.

Bellatrix, within Orion.

 

[viCkiTz]

Yeah, I think the North Star is a good choice as well.

 

[juggler]

I want to make planet OTz in a program called celestia. I need people to pick a star in the night sky that this planet will orbit.

I'm a geek so humor me

 

[viCkiTz]

I stick by my choice. The North Star. It's perfect. All North like.

 

[livvy7678]

Okay ummmmm north?

Why not Alpha Centauri A? It'd be cool to live in a binary system, plus you get the added bonus of having a Sol type star. :nod:

And besides, I hate long car rides.

How long do you think it would take you to get there at warp 5?

How long do you think it would take you to get there at warp 5?

7.339 Days. Warp 5 = 214 Speed of light, thus 64155586 kilometres per second. Thus to travel 4.3 light years around ... 7.339 (I obviously didn't work that out myself)


Polaris gets my vote

Your geekness is strong even though you didn't work it out yourself

Now how long will it take to get polaris at that speed?

 

[Sparkey Duck]

Well Polaris is 430 light years away I believe, so times it by 100

About 2 years :unsure:
