Hi everyone !
If you are a SpaceEngine user, you probably know that there is a option called "Real Planet Brightness" that shows us how planets are less illuminated with the distance from the sun.
Below an example, that shows on the left how Jupiter appears without the option (the image is globally the same for NASA's pictures or Orbiter), and on the right how it appears with the option which reproduces that the human eye really see :
Now for Saturn and Neptune :
I think it could be good and educational to add this option in Orbiter, probably in visual options, to enable the inverse-square law for sunlight.
What's your opinion about this idea ?
(I don't know if it's the good way, but I created an "issue" in "ORBITER: 2010-P1 > Feature". http://www.orbiter-forum.com/project.php?issueid=1136)
Bye
