My first God-tier moon - Luna Supermundii Prima

As you all know, I've visited my first God-tier planet a while ago - what I consider to be a God-tier is a planet that has water, grass, interesting creatures, plants, trees and an overall interesting (non-brown) atmosphere. I've found my first moon like that - a blue, icy moon full of Sentinel activity, Gravitino Balls, weird creatures, grass and flora. The moon is full of earth arches and strange sculptures - Cubes with a cuboid air shape - essentially like a cubic ring. I didn't take pictures of them as they're reddish and brown, however despite the extremely cold weather and the Sentinel activity, I managed to snag a few picture of the moon in question. I guess travelling through 4 no-life blue star systems was worth it.

Frosted red bush trees of Orcus Albus Quartus

Although this is a classic snow planet, I took a picture. I don't have a lot of things to say - I just had never taken a picture of the morning with trees and plants in it. The planet is as cold as many others, remaining at -50°C, but other than that, there really isn't much to look forward too. Still, I had to take a picture because the color of the sun just baffles me.

The strawberry milk sky of the azure Venus Caerulea Prima

Immediately after the last planet, Vulcan Brunus Secundus, I'd landed on this planet. From afar I could see that it's a blue planet, which astonished me because I haven't see anything blue other than water for a long, long time. Upon landing, it was a fairly grassy planet - not so many plants as grass, but still, pretty lively. Of course, there's rain and the temperature is around -25°C, but the best feature for a planet that motivates me to go further is the low Fauna count - 6 creatures which I'd all find in 10 minutes. Perhaps the most peculiar thing about the planet was that all the creatures were the hopping around time, whether they be plant heads, sticks, or horseshoe crab-like bugs. 1 out of 6 were birds, which were pretty ordinary. Lastly, the planet was filled with mushroom-like cliffs - although the planet had little to do with mushrooms.

And so, I took loads of pictures - blue is my favourite colour.

The floral desert of Vulcan Brunus Secundus

After the Venus planet, the next one I immediately stumbled upon was a desert planet. I was hoping for a real, you know, full sand and rocks planet, maybe even I could witness the huge snakes, however, none of that seemed to happen. The creatures we're weird alright, and there were floating islands, but the planet had a fair amount of flora, kind of defeating the weather status which was "Scorching Sands". However, this made it eligible for screenshots.

The planet has low sentinel activity and the plant Gravitino Balls, however, the Sentinels attack you if you take them, as usual. The temperature is 120°C during storms, yet - 98°C during nightly storms. What is amazing is how clustered the structures are - I could find 3 or 4 just by rising up 200 ks or so. The creatures are plenty, hell, I even found all of 'em without any intention first in 20 minutes or so. Before leaving, of course, I took some pictures.

The peaceful flora of Venus Virida Tertia

This planet I came upon after porting from the Orcus Laetus Primus system, but I left it for today. This is the first planet that has the title of Venus (Earthlike/Beautiful) which has actually normal temperatures - 21°C. However, the planet itself is pretty empty, as in - there isn't an abundance of life - there are 12 species, but they are rarely seen. Nevertheless, there are also almost no sentinels, but again - there is plenty of flora, and the planet has seas and lakes.

If there's one thing this planet has on the surface - it's definitely Titanium crystals. All crystals actually. However, the planet isn't barren, it's pretty green, has some sort of rocky structures, AND manages to have a lot of crystals. While I won't be on this planet for long, since the Laetus planet had all the resources I needed to fill my Hyperdrive up, I've taken the 3 pictures you will hopefully enjoy.

The variation of Orcus Laetus Primus

This planet is something special appearing for the first time in my journey. So far, I've been to around 70 or so planets, and I've fully discovered/90% all of them. I've recently reached the 10 100% planet achievement, yet I've never seen something like this. As soon as I landed, I was confused with the brown ground merging with the purple cliffs, the pale yellow sands, and the green moss on the ground. Then the grass started rendering. Red grass with blue flowers, sometimes even yellow wheat-like grass, and green bubblegrass. The planet was colorful. It was not like any other I'd seen.

Furthermore, the temperature when I descended was -60°C, but then the day came, turning it up to +60°C. Then the storm came: 112°C. This planet was not only colorful visually, but also in temperature. And then, finally, came the creatures. They were all over the place. The rarest kinds, too. Swimming cows, walking two legged sticks, mutants, dinosaurs, something resembling lizards/snakes... I was astonished. I knew it was a blue star system planet, however, I never knew the game could go as far as that. That was some pretty nice variation.

And so, I took a picture of the planet that could make haters shut up.

The orange dawn of Luna Minervae Secunda

After passing a whole system of barren planets, I entered a Black Hole. It brought me approximately 1500 light years closer to the center, as well as bringing me near my next blue star Solar system. After getting there and naming it, I instantly landed on a planet. It was a snow planet with absolutely no life. Its moon was the same. The next planet I went to was the same. I thought I was getting trolled. Its moon was, surprisingly toxic - the catch? No life either. So pessimistically, I've proceeded onto the last 2 planets in the Solar system. This was the first of the remaining two - a sentinel frenzied planet filled with occasional Gravitino Balls. The temperature was, ironically in the negative 20's, but there were no further hazards - all the planets besides this one were Extreme.

Luckily, my shields are fully upgraded, and so is my multi-tool, so I managed to snatch a few photos from all the triggered sentinels.

The flora of Mefitas Aurea Prima

After an array of Atlas quests, I've stumbled upon the only planet which could satisfy my standards - Mefitas Aurea Prima. The planet is toxic, with a mellow 40 or so Tox', and while plentiful in flora, it's somewhat lacking in fauna. The creatures are funny more than fascinating, but there are not many in the first place. It was impossible to gather 100% on this planet, as I'd rarely see a white dot to lead me to a creature, however, I managed to take a picture of the incredible mushroom forest under a ground arch.

The peculiar Vortex planet - Asclepius Albus Primus

Having landed on this strange planet at dawn, I had the opportunity to witness the true colors - green grass, white terrain and red trees. Must be a flag, I thought. The first creatures I found were fly-elephants. The second were literally horned fish with legs. The third, and definitely the most bizarre - rock-head swimming cows. That's right.

With a temperature of around -25°C at night and around 5°C during the day, the planet's climate wasn't really anything special. There is no strong radiation, nor toxicity, not even in the water. The water life is uninteresting, aside from those swimming cows. Hell, I didn't even know that such creatures could be created! Nevertheless, the planet is full of Vortex Cubes on the surface - not that I need them. After all, I was a in a star system where all the celestial bodies had Vortex Cubes underground without triggering any sentinels. So, I leave these behind - after all, they're much prettier that way.

Maybe I can 100% this planet before I freeze to death. Who knows? This planet was weird enough to make me think, in any case.

Luna Veneris Secunda - the pleasant yellow moon

Entering a new blue Star System, I've immediately landed on the only planet. It was barren, literally nothing on it, and it was ugly, brown - I didn't want to stay on it any longer. Its first moon, Luna Terrae Prima was almost the same, except it featured a green atmosphere, along with having pretty interesting animals. After I've cleared all the fauna and got my achievement, I've proceeded onto the last body in that system, and that is our Luna Veneris Secunda.

I've realised that it's a yellow planet, and I was REALLY hoping it wasn't a toxic planet. If there's one thing I hate in this game, those are Toxic planets. Always green and yellow, their color makes me puke. But this planet wasn't like that. It had no hazards, a temperature of around 10°C during the day. The creatures were extremely interesting, up to a point that I named one of them "Mistake of God #2". It was just that interesting.

But the planet, boy oh boy. Those permanent cave particles, that Savannah feel... The only thing that was lacking was the forests - the trees, as you will be able to seem, are very weird, and deny the color palette along with not being numerous. All in all, this was a moon I was considering to make a God-tier moon, however, it fell short - if it had more trees, it would have attained that status. And so, I've uploaded more than 1 picture, so make sure you check 'em out by clicking on the link under the thumbnail picture. Keep in mind, only the pictures behind that link are FHD.

My first God-tier planet - Orcus Supermundii Primus

I was closing in in the last planet of my 2nd Blue Star System. It had been 3 million units away from my 4th planet, and even though I got attacked by a fleet of 12 pirates along the way, I wanted to visit it - I NEVER miss a planet that's in a galaxy I intended visiting that isn't a Atlas Interference system. As I got closer I noticed something strange - the blue hue which had been visible from afar was not land - it was water, and the crimson dots were the land!

After I entered the planet's atmosphere, I noticed the grain replacing big parts of the sea - and the planet was beautiful. Plagued by torrenting rain, it had no obsession from sentinels - after all, the guard value, seldom beauty. I landed in a shelter, but immediately ignored it and went to see the planet for myself. Trees everywhere, floating chunks of copper, and lakes - the planet had everything a human being would want. Animals resembled hippopotamuses, the day temperature was a chilly 5°C, almost 90°C more than the icy nights - but despite all this, it was the best planet I saw in the game yet. It was colorful enough, aside from being alive, that I even put it in the god tier - meaning that instead of the color, it received the "Supermundii" categorization.

And so, I took loads of pictures, however, I will only post the best as the thumbnail, and the others, as well as the thumbnail, can be found in 1080p (since Blogger doesn't go above 900p) by clicking on the "1920x1080" link below the picture.

The icy sunset of Orcus Albus Primus

After a while, I'm finally back! I got home about 2 hours ago, and my No Man's Sky finished installing and being modded about 20 minutes ago. As promised, I have returned to take new pictures in 1080p on maximum, hopefully making them screenshot-worthy on more computers.

I landed on Orcus Albus Primus on my laptop, however, I wasn't able to explore it at all due to horrendous frame rates caused by ample flora and fauna. However, on my desktop, I'm able to get steady FPS on 1080p, which allows me to take pictures at maximum settings and HDR via mods at reasonable FPS. The planet is extremely cold, as it is a planet in a blue star system, however, the fauna is quite different from the other tundra planets. Flying creatures are similar to bugs, while the water is full of leeches. I haven't encountered a ground animal yet, but there should be plenty, and I've only recently come down to the planet. Regardless, my Protection Theta will hopefully allow me to explore this planet, and possible give you guys more awesome pictures!

P.S. - From now on I'll provide you with a 1080p picture through a link under the actual picture, as blogger doesn't go above 900p, sadly.

The decaying day of Luna Minervae Prima

This time, I've landed on the moon of the previous planet, Venus Virida Secunda. It was radioactive, with high sentinel activity - something I think the very few Gravitino Balls shouldn't have caused. Nevertheless, I went down and encountered some REALLY strange lifeforms - things like kangaroo rams, flat swordfishes and dragon birds. The fauna was strange too, reminding me of a scorching planet, rather than simply a radioactive one. Before long, I stumbled upon a monolith, and noticed it would soon be dusk. I've quickly saved, exited the game, and started it again with the highest settings, but even after 2 minutes, the sun would not set. Seeing as how my game runs at 0.7 FPS on the absolute maximum settings, I got tired of waiting and took the picture anyways.

P.S. - I've decided to not take any more pictures because of my upgraded Hyperdrive. All the planets I visit are simply amazing, and I feel it's a shame to take pictures on this resolution. That's why I'll be waiting until Sptember 3rd or 4th until I'm home on my rig to take pictures in FullHD for better quality and of course, a better viewer experience. For now, enjoy these, I'll be back soon!

The Earthlike giant - Venus Virida Secunda

After creating a Tau Hyperdrive, I went and got onto my first green star. I landed on my first planet at night, and threw myself into a lake instantly, seeing as how the sentinels weren't present at all, and the fauna was lacking. There, I found carnivorous fish and leeches, so it made me not stay as long as I had hoped to. As I got onto the ground, I found my first Murrine on the planet, which didn't make me particularly happy since my laptop was already suffocating from the water + grass. Regardless, I ventured around the freezing (-78°C !) planet, all until dawn. And then I got to the beautiful scenery you can see below.

The persian green sky of Luna Veneris Prima

Before going to sleep, I landed on the second moon of the planet now known as the Pluto Argus Primus (the first one was featured in the post before this one). This one also has some pretty exotic colors, along with a cozy temperature of 20°C. I ended up wandering until night time, where I could see just how beautiful the night sky of the moon is. The sentinels are average, flora is plentiful, and creatures are irregular - I have yet to see one after 20 minutes of roaming. Without further ado, the sky of Luna Veneris Prima!

The dangerous beauty of Minerva Arctica Prima

Originally, this is a moon - it was supposed to be called Luna Minerva Prima, but upon landing on it, I noticed it's a moon with arctic colored ground and a pink sky - naturally, naming it like a moon would mean I don't get to specify the color (but only that the sentinels are apes assaulting you at every chance), and I couldn't let that go - that's why I named a moon like I'd name a planet.

Like mentioned, it's full of Sentinels. There's a Gravitino Ball every 100 m or so, but the Sentinels are nevertheless FRENZIED. What a bummer for such a beautiful moon. The temperature is a pleasant 21°C, while the moon is slightly radioactive - a mere 5.1 Rads. The fauna is nothing fascinating, nor is the flora (except for the pretty neon colors), but I still managed to take a pretty screenshot.

The underwater world of Pluto Aureus Primus

Today I found the classic - completely barren planet, no real rare resources, literally useless in a yellow star system. At first, I was hyped - the planet was orange. Then I got even more hyped - the planet reminded me of the Gillette Fusion palette - it was not only orange - it intertwined with a pleasant shade of blue. But, again, my happiness quickly diminished when I realized it was absolutely dead - in 20 minutes, I found 4 ore species and 1 plant - underwater. But as I was discovering the seemingly only plant on the planet (or algae, to be specific), I realized that the underwater world of the barren planet was beautiful. Sure, it was lacking and plain, but the color palette was simply amazing IMO. And so, I took a picture.

The Summer Planet - Vulcan Rubeus Primus

Today, after spending roughly 5 hours farming Gravitino Balls on a planet with Passive Sentinels, I decided to hunt for more screenshot worthy planets. After passing 2 which were disappointing to say the very least, I found one which at least passed my humble standards. The planet in question is, of course, Vulcan Rubeus Primus, a somewhat hot planet (around 40°C standard temperature) with plentiful flora, and a present fauna.

BNMSI starts off today - with an image from Somnus Viridus Primus!

Hi, my name's Yalfoosh. I have been waiting for No Man's Sky for 2 years, ever since I saw my first demo. For a while now, I've had the idea of launching a blog which would focus on my best photography from the best looking planes. So far, there are 2 planets (1 of them is a moon, actually) I haven't taken a picture of (because my current computer barely runs the game anyways), but this is a start. In 2 weeks, I should be able to take fully HD photos with better details.

For now, this is my first entry - a picture from Somnus Viridus Primus (meaning it's the first to be faunaless and green among my planets). The blurriness is due to Freezing Rain, a permanent weather condition on the planet. Sentinels are passive, while there is Titanium and Chrysonite to be found everywhere. The normal temperature is around -20°C.
