Hello, there. Its been a while since I launched a Planet Pack, right? Well, here’s the release of Interstellar’s Gargantua system in SFS!

All the data comes from the Interstellar’s Wiki.

This pack contains:

1)- The central Black Hole, Gargantua:

This is polar perspective, guys. That’s why it doesn’t looks like what you saw on the movie, cause what you saw there is Equatorial perspective. This one comes with an Event Horizon (if you get too close, you will only see black…). No, this one doesn’t take you to the fifth dimension, lol.

2)-The three planets: Miller, Edmunds and Mann.

Miller’s planet (the first planet they visit in the movie) I gave it a flat surface cause it’s an ocean planet and a 130 percent of Earth’s gravity just like the movie.

Edmunds’ planet. Edmunds is just like Earth. I mean this planet is not visited in the movie (only in the ending) so we don’t have any data from it. I assumed this planet was just like Earth when it comes to stuff like radius, gravity and atmo parameters…

And Mann’s planet. Mann, in the movie has a very eccentric orbit (ecc = 0.97) which takes its apoapsis very far away from Gargantua. In the movie, they are visiting the planet when its close to its periapsis, that’s why you see daylight (the planet is completely dark when far from periapsis), still I gave it a day-night cycle that lasts 67 days and 67 nights just like the real one.

ALL these planets have Day-Night cycles (texture made by Elmaksos) and Reentry effects:

And ultimately is the star Pantagruel. A neutron star used by the Endurance crew for a flyby to get to Mann. Little we know about this star, only that is a little bigger than our The Sun.

To finish this non-sense cluster of words I’ll include a comparison between the Base Data of Gargantua, Pantagruel and our The Sun so you know… hehehe… what you’re dealing with…

This system won’t be easy to scout, guys. However, the future of mankind depends on it!

Enjoy!

Thank you Blazer, very cool

Awesome, says the poor iPhone slave...

by “a little bigger” I presume you mean more massive, radius wise neutron stars are small rocky planet size if memory serves, which it often doesn’t

It should be more massive indeed. But it gets weirdo, So I decreases Its gravity a little.
