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.
