Title: Mira Description: Mira is a binary star system comprising of a red giant and a white dwarf about 443.5 light-years away from the constellation Cetus. It is one of the first variable stars ever discovered, where the apparent magnitude changes over a period of time as seen from Earth.

Title: Explorer 1 to 5 Description: The first generation satellites of the still-active Explorers program were among the very first spacecraft successfully launched into orbit by the United States. Although unable to beat Sputnik on being the first artificial object in space, the Explorers (particularly Explorer 1) discovered the existence of a region of charged particles around the Earth's magnetosphere called the Van Allen radiation belts. Five satellites were launched in 1958, only three were successful (1, 3 and 4). All of them operated for four months each, but stayed derelict in orbit for many years until 1970 Proposed category: Spacecraft Demo Object Name: N/A Author(s): Jack Higgins, DaveBowman2001 Release date: 2022-Feb-24 Link to download: Explorer 1 to 5.zip Image:
Proposal to rename Thestias (Pollux b) into just Pollux to match the naming pattern of the other Exoplanet addons
Title: Pollux
Title: Antares Description: Antares is a bright red supergiant star about 610.6 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. It is the 15th-brightest star in the night sky, and like all variable stars, its apparent magnitude changes over time. It is likely to explode into a supernova in the next 10,000 years Proposed category: Stars Demo Object Name: Antares Author(s): trappistplanets Release date: 2021-Mar-19 Link to download: Antares.zip Image:
Title: HAT-P-7 Description: HAT-P-7, also known as Kepler-2, is a binary star system comprising of an F-type star and a red dwarf about 1,123.5 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. The brighter star has a super-Jovian planet orbiting very close to it, completing one revolution every 2.2 days Proposed category: Exoplanets Demo Object Name: HAT-P-7 A Author(s): Edasich Release date: 2010-May-14 Link to download: HAT-P-7.zip Image:
Title: HAT-P-12 Description: HAT-P-12, also known as TOI-1844, is a K-type main-sequence star about 467.52 light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. A single hot Jovian planet completes an orbit around this star every 3.21 days Proposed category: Exoplanets Demo Object Name: HAT-P-12 Author(s): Edasich Release date: 2009-Jun-5 Link to download: HAT-P-12.zip Image:
Title: Luna-1 Description: Luna-1 was a soviet space probe intended to impact the Moon. It was launched on January 2, 1959, but failed to impact the Moon, passing 6,000 km away a few days later. But it became the first space probe in a heliocentric orbit. Proposed Category: Spacecraft Demo Object Name: Luna-1 Author(s): toutatis Release date: 2019-04-27 Link to download: luna-1.zip Image:
Title: Luna-2 Description: Luna-2 is a soviet space probe launched on September 12, 1959 for the purpose of impacting the Moon. The probe impacted the Moon on September 13, 1959 and became the first man-made artifact to impact another celestial body.

Title: Luna-3 Description: Luna-3 was a soviet space probe with the objective of carrying out a flyby of the Moon. Launched on October 3, 1959, it performed a flyby at a distance 6,200 km of from the Moon on October 6, 1959 and made the first images of the far side of the Moon that is not visible from Earth. After the lunar flyby, Luna-3's fate is uncertain, but it is believed to have impacted Earth's atmosphere in the year 1960.

Update to D/1993 F2 (Shoemaker-Levy 9) addon
Description: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 is a comet that broke into at least 21 fragments due to its close encounter with Jupiter in 1992. It has garnered the interest of many astronomers as it was predicted to collide with Jupiter on July 1994. It was speculated that it was a short-period comet that was captured by Jupiter's gravity sometime in the 1970s, and measured about 5 km in diameter before its 1992 break-up. The collision events contributed greatly to the knowledge that Jupiter's strong gravitational influence decreases the chances of asteroid/comet impacts to occur particularly on Earth
