I just found a YouTube channel that tells a person’s story through the stars and their inner world. I love how it uses #SpaceEngine and #UniverseSandbox to create something unexpected.

We’re human. We create.

We have a specific community challenge for you today: a ringed planet and a #nebula.

Have you come across any in #SpaceEngine? Share yours below!
