Lylat system in Celestia

[wolf12373]

I created the Lylat system in the astronomy program Celestia.

Thought you were talking about something completely different.

Isn't the Lylat system described as a binary galaxy which obits the sun Lylat? And has the secondary sun Solar?

They've changed it around a bit in games. In Star Fox 64, Solar appears in the center of everything, and in Assault, everything seems to revolve around Corneria.

For some reason that just made me think of the ancient argument of the heliocentrism and geocentrism...them dern Christian folks got a hold of Assault I guess and make it all backwards

Physically, a planet of Corneria's size could not produce enough gravity to keep that many planets in orbit with it, I've always gone with the fact that the Lylat star just wasnt present in the map in the N64 game. Just because it wasnt included, dosent mean it was removed. Besides, with Solar being only around 9000 degrees, and not sucking down the arwings at that height, its got to be a pretty small red dwarf, which, like Corneria, wouldnt have sufficent gravity to sustain that many planets.

The core of our sun is 5000 degrees Celsius, which is about 9000 degrees Fahrenheit. If Solar's 9000 degrees is Celsius, then it's hotter than our sun. If it's 9000 degrees Fahrenheit, then it's the same temperature. Plus Slippy said the Arwing can take temperatures of 9000 degrees. The Arwing could not take Solar's heat for long, making it hotter than 9000 degrees.

Plus Arwings are equipped with G-Diffusors which can do some crazy stuff to gravity, which might explain why they don't get sucked into the sun.

Logic'd

I was mostly just thinking of how the planets didn't seem to rotate around Solar in SF64. They moved, but not in relation to that sun. Also, I thought in SF2 they depicted Lylat as being within the solar system....I might be wrong though since I haven't played it.

I thought our sun was actually relatively cool compared to others. I'll see if I can find out if that's true or not, but for now i'll pretend I know what I am talking about and suggest that the binary system still could be the case with life supported by Lylat (although...the close proximity of Aquas to Solar makes me a bit confused....OH SCIENCE FICTION!!!)

Edit: Ok, so Arwingepedia was edited by somebody who can't use Google. It said that 9000 degrees Celsius was still lower than the assumed 3500K that they were using. Way off. So you could be right about Solar being the only star in the solar system...though I rather like the binary system theory just because it sounds more fun. It is interesting to note that Solar is often equated to being a red dwarf class star, with a temperature often below 4000K, but then 9000 C = 9271K and 9000 F = 5255K

Maybe the 9000 degrees was measure using a foreign system? >_>

Well the over 9000 (lol) degree thing has gotta be just temperature fluctuations.

Now heres an idea, whats to say the Starfox Team werent flying over a sunspot during the event of the Solar mission?

Possibility, given the fact that our own sun can experience coronas and fluctuations in temperatures often several thousands of degrees in difference from the average surface temperature.

From Wikipedia:

Temperature Center (modeled): ~1.57×10⁷ K^[1]

Photosphere (effective): 5,778 K^[1]

Corona: ~5×10⁶ K

Solar is not a star. It is a planet. A few US SF64 docs claimed it to be a star, but Japanese and European docs called it a planet, as well as the US website, and it was clearly refered to as a planet in-game in Star Fox Command.

The entire surface of Solar is covered with molten magma. Scientists are still uncertain as to why the planet never cooled from its original formation and remains in this "genesis" state. Some say that its position, directly in the center of the Sector X-Y-Z Triangle, may be the cause.

Magma is in the neighborhood of 1000° C. Though, this is earth-magma. There is plausibility to the idea that other planets may have higher temperatures for magmas, particularly if pressure is involved somehow. Page above says the planet's equilibrium temperature is 750 K, which is around 480 C. Note that it may be possible for hotter temps elsewhere. Also, this just might be one of the many inconsistencies in the canon.

DZ takes the cake, solar has always been a planet, and a hot one at that! it always intreaged me.....a liqued planet....

[sroberson]

Still leaves one to wonder what measurement was being used in reference to an Arwing withstanding temperatures of 9000 degrees...so I suppose binary system could work
