In 2015, the [[Planetary Landings]] update extended the original galactic simulation from outer space to a 1:1 planetary scale. [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]]'s [[Stellar Forge]] takes into account the factors that govern the formation of [[planets]], from the basic chemical composition, size, neighbouring [[moons]] and tectonic activity.<ref name=":0" /> [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|ED: Odyssey]] added the [[On Foot]] first person scale and [[Atmospheric Landing|atmospheric landing]] on planetary objects with tenuous [[Atmosphere|atmospheres]] in 2021. | In 2015, the [[Planetary Landings]] update extended the original galactic simulation from outer space to a 1:1 planetary scale.

[[Atmosphere| | [[Atmosphere|Atmospheres]] of planetary objects have different colours based on their primary composition, Raleigh scattering and Mie scattering. Raleigh scattering for light refraction based on the star light's wavelength and planet atmosphere density. Mie scattering for light absorption based on atmosphere elements and composition. This simulates a huge variety of atmospheric visuals.<ref name=":3">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/mzrvwt/quick_notes_from_livestream_discovery_scanner_w/ reddit: Quick Notes from Livestream - Discovery Scanner: w/ Piers Jackson & Dr Kay Ross. - 27 April, 2021.]</ref> | ||
The planets and [[Planetary Ring Systems|planetary ring systems]] rotate in real time. The [[moons]] (planetary satellites) orbit planets. The planets and [[Gas Giant|gas giants]] generally orbit a [[Stars|star]] in the center of a system. Sometimes 2 planets orbit each other. Some systems have binary stars, a neutron star or a [[Black Holes|black hole]]. | The planets and [[Planetary Ring Systems|planetary ring systems]] rotate in real time.
