MemberDeaconApr-12-2017 3:43 PMIndeed i updated my Paradise thead so it was bumped to discus this, but i will add what i said on that here.
It looks like 3 but the Display confirms a Whopping 7 Moons.

MemberPraetorianApr-12-2017 4:24 PMI think the circles are not for moons in the screen, if I'm not mistaken.
Ingeniero
MemberPraetorianApr-12-2017 4:46 PMI do think it reads "07" moons in the readout below. I'll try to get a better shot of the readout.

MemberOvomorphApr-12-2017 4:47 PMThe info is on-screen under Planetary Profile:
Moons 07

MemberXenomorphApr-12-2017 4:51 PMA few people have said it says 07, but it still looks blurred to me. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Ati
MemberPraetorianApr-12-2017 5:14 PMI have found other five moons. :) No joke! Oooops, that is 8 moons.

interesting it is marked as unknown planet on the monitor.

Indeed its hard to read, looks more like 2 to me, but then could be a 7 hard to tell, but we definately see 3 Moons in the Screenshot of the actual Planet so it cant be 2, and there are indeed 7 orbits so maybe it is 7?
I am sure the Science Nerds ;) will rip this to shreds especially the Orbits as over time this place will have collisions and thus Rings ;)
But its not Calpamos as in Prometheus as they approached LV-223 it already had Rings. And Calpamos is a Gas Giant.

MemberDeaconApr-12-2017 5:29 PMCould be... could also be other distant Planets...
If only we had a say 4K shot of this scene then we would have more details.

MemberXenomorphApr-12-2017 5:31 PMI think S.M has been drinking the Inquisitor Fifield Koolaid, lately.
Ati
MemberPraetorianApr-12-2017 5:37 PMI'm not surprised by that possibility... They share some patterns delivered by inquisitors.
BigDave
MemberDeaconApr-12-2017 5:41 PMThere are 7 objects that stand out, but then 3-4 more are almost as standing out as some of 5-7
I think some of the Moons would also likely be behind the Planet in this shot and others off to the left off screen.

MemberXenomorphApr-12-2017 5:47 PM"I think S.M has been drinking the Inquisitor Fifield Koolaid, lately."
What?
"I it is 2350km it is f... small."
Bigger than LV-426 and LV-223.

MemberPraetorianApr-12-2017 5:48 PMAti, now that connection is a stretch because I see a distinct pattern (foul) with the later.
S.M, I take it that LV-426 is markedly different in size from the planet on the readout?
Great shot and detail on the planets shot Ati.
BigDave, I'll go back and edit horizontal versions of my high resolution vertical photos. I'm on a computer and my neck hurts now. I'll post those together (horizontal and vertical versions) on the topics from now on. I know you weren't complaining but good point.
Rick, you are a freaking instigator. Please give me just a little input on the planets or make fun of just me. I always offer ample material to make fun of directly.
SenseOfDoubt, thank you.

MemberPraetorianApr-12-2017 6:03 PMS.M - I compared it to Earth, that's why I said that it's small.
Earth's diameter is over 12,000km.
Ingeniero
MemberPraetorianApr-12-2017 6:10 PMI think the Earth reference was to show a frame of reference to the "new" planet (Paradise) size in relation to home S.M.

MemberPraetorianApr-12-2017 6:14 PMIngeni, look at this shot. Is it a face? Is that a mouth and a tongue? Strange cave entrance, isn't it? You like triangles if I know correctly. :D
