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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. ;-)
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.
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
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.
+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. The Earth's Moon is only 1 and a half light seconds away, and it it much farther out than this anomaly, several Earth diameters away.

Digital Nomad The ISS orbits Earth in 92 minutes, not 15. Also the Moon is not that far, it is closer to 1 ls than to 1 and a half. Check your facts, mate.
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.
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.
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
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
Feedback is always good. Disabled ratings suggests that at some point, the uploader received some ratings he didn't like and stuck his fingers in his ears.
Casper Hansen He goes through effort, no matter if that is walking through a desert or clicking a button, he cares. If he truly did not care he'd leave the default settings.
Or he could just disable both ratings and comments so people would stop bitching about stupid shit and just watch the clip instead...thats always a good idea.
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.
saltok and everyone else: Etymology: Middle English planete "planet," from early French planet (same meaning), from Latin planeta (same meaning), from Greek plan t-, plan s "planet," literally, "wanderer" ... 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.
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.
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....
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 👍
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.
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.
Weather patterns and tidal waves would completely render this planet uninhabitable. Wind speed of at least mach 1 and tides 200ft tall. The pull from the gravity of this moon would turn this planet into a swirling sh*t storm. The atmosphere and water would try to keep up with this moon.
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.

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.

5:50 "Don't get to close to the Edge of the World- You'll fall down!" That's what I seriously thought at that moment!
If this moon weren't torn apart from tidal forces it would most certainly be tidally locked with its parent planet. Still glad it exists in the game.
I bet the coastal towns on the planet below are a blast to visit.
At the speed that moon is traveling, the gravity of the parent world is insanely high. No one could live there.
It's because the moon is insanely close to the planet, not because the planet is large
The moon really said “GAS GAS GAS”
I think this moon would be torn apart by tidal forces but it should absolutely be tidally locked.
And that is how not to drive a rover. :-P
