Constructor:

Planetary system settings: first to start, we need to give our new planetary system a position in Milky Way galaxy relative to position of Solar System.

To set the position, press the button "Set position", after that Milky Way galaxy will be opened at full screen, allowing to set a point of our new planetary system.

The position of the planetary system can always be changed, by pressing the button "Set position".


Creating new space object: to create new planet/moon/asteroid/comet press a button with plus symbol in the dedicated box for that space object.

After pressing, you can now press on your newly added space object to view and change it's settings.


Applying changes to space objects: changes to space objects are only visible after pressing apply button dedicated to that object.

When applying and if some of the values are not entered then default values of the not entered ones will be used and set. In some cases this non-set value will be calculated using other values.

Submitting planetary system:

After all of the above was done, you can submit new planetary system by pressing button "Submit new planetary system".


IMPORTANT: New created planetary system will not be shown.

At first new created planetary system will be set for moderation to check whether data that has been used to add planetary system is verified by NASA or not.

If planetary system has passed the moderation, new created planetary system will be shown in "eliaslucky.com/systems" with position that has been set in the "Planetary system settings".
