A fan has used planetary mathematics to work out how large one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield Planets is - and how that relates to real-life planets.

At one point in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield Direct, one smart cookie over on Reddit took note of the HUD display as Bethesda showed off one of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield star systems' m😼oons called Nemeria IV-a. They note a gravity of 0.4 - 40% as strong📖 as Earth's - and that the horizon appears to be 774m away.

Assum⛦ing the height of an average human (and not taking account of the small hill the player seems to be standing on), that horizon distance would mean Nemeria IV-a w🍰ould have a radius - the distance from its core to its surface - of around 100 miles. For context, the radius of Earth is around 40 times that, at just under 4,000 miles.

Taking that figure, our number cruncher switched to the gravity of Nemeria IV-a. Two of our closest celestial partners - Mercury and Mars - boast a gravity about 38% as strong as Earth's, and taking their diameter into aꦰccount, we can assume that a planet with 0.4 gravity should be a little under 50% the radiu𝔉s of Earth. For ease, we'll round that up to 2,000 miles.

If we go back to the 100 mile figure from earlier, we can compare the estimated size of Starfield's Nemeria IV-a to how big it would have to be if it were a real planetary body. 🧜100 miles in 2,000 is a pleasing ratio of 1:20, suggesting 🌸that Starfield's planets are about 5% of the size they 'should' be.

That's a very broad estimate, and some commenters suggest that the planets could be notably bigger than that. There is, however, a factor at play in Bethesda's older games that suggests this could be a pretty accurate guess. Skyrim and Fallout 4 use a 1:20 ratio for their 'timescꦰale,' the amount of in-game time that passes for each real-world minute. Apply that to a minute of movement taking you 20 minutes' worth of distance, and you've got a hint as to the size of those maps.

While those maps might seem a little smaller than you'd expect, remember - 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield still has 1,000 planets. And with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:10% of capable of sustaining life, you should still have more to explore than 𓃲in any previous Bethesda game. 

Todd Howard promises 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield will be a "modder's paradise."
