For our second scary posts for Halloween, did you know that lightning bolts on #Saturn can be between 1,000 and 10,000 times stronger than Earth's?

Good thing you can visit Saturn from the safety of your own home with #SpaceEngine!

Since we are only a few days from Halloween, how about we start the week off with a scary object: a black hole!

Is there a #nebula you'd like to see us highlight in a future post you've have seen, or haven't seen us post about in a while?

Let us know in the comments below!

This one is RN 8513-10059, a procedurally generated nebula. Image from team member Mike.

@iAdam Hi there,

It's not on the current road map, but it's something we want to do in the future.

It's mid-week, so why not celebrate with visit to a star cluster in #SpaceEngine?

Did you know that #Mercury has no rings or natural moons?

You can verify it for yourself, by visiting Mercury in #SpaceEngine.

Share your images of it below!

LHS 1903 e is an interesting looking exoplanet, at least from this angle. It almost looks like a landscape, with a sun or moon in the distance & waves at the bottom.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments below, and share your images if you've visited it in #SpaceEngine.

In his filename for this screenshot, team member Mike called this "barren desert."

How else would you describe this #SpaceEngine landscape?

We highlighted a few #nebulae in #SpaceEngine earlier this week, but what's one more? This is PK 205+14.1 or the Medusa Nebula.

#Nebulae are interesting for several reasons, but what about their shapes? They are all so unique!

Do you have a favourite #nebula shape you've come across in SE?

Share it below!
