In Kerbal Space Program you explore a remixed solar system that is 1/8th the scale of our system. However, have you ever thought if such a system could realistically exist...

    The masses are smaller. It's the surface gravity that remain similar, demanding MUCH greater density. Kerbal is about 1/10 of the size of the Earth, but have the same surface gravity. To achieve that, you also need to have 10 times the density. The average density of the Earth being 5,527 g/cm^3. This imply that Kerbal's density should be 55.25 g/cm^3. Osmium, the most dense element have a density of 22,587 g/cm^3. So, Kerbal's density is more than twice that of the densest element.

    IIRC from some earlier similar experiments someone did some years ago, a big part of the problem with Jool's moons is that the orbital phases of the inner moons are wrong so that they're not actually in a Laplace resonance like Jupiter's Galilean moons are. Could try just fixing that and see if it helps.

    Funny that you mention that because Laythe, Val, and Tylo are actually in the Laplace (1:2:4) resonance in the base game. I'm pretty sure the resonance is what ends up throwing Val out of the system, and that you'd need to retune the mass and orbital radius of each moon quite a bit to make the resonance work.

    yeah the Big issue with Jool is not just that the moons are too close together. Gas giants tend to have a mass ratio with their moons. Which usually means the moons are around 10000 times less massive than their parents. There are exceptions like Saturn's moon Titan, but even then Saturn is 4000 times more massive than titan. The moons of Jool over step these boundries by a LOT So therefore they (especially vall and Tylo) compete for gravitational influence quite a bit. In fact, just as Duna and Ike's center of mass is not exactly at the center of Duna, The center of mass between Tylo and Jool is Also not in the middle of the system, which further destabilises the whole thing! So really, the only way your fixing the Jool system is either if you give it Far smaller moons, Or, if you want to keep the original moons, Turn jool into essentially a brown dwarf (but KSP sized) and only then you try to make the moons orbit further out.

    There was a mod that converted Jool into a brown dwarf. The mod's name was...well, brown dwarf jool. Sadly, it hasn't been updated in a while. So, while i've tested it and it still works fine with the latest versions, it is kinda buggy and the textures on Jool are not quite up to date. It is a shame. Would love to see how it would look with the modern textures of jool. Hopefully someone will update or make another version of that mod sometime. As per the question on Laythe, I don't know for certain. My guess is that since vall is much less massive, and Tylo is further out, it doesn't effect Laythe quite as much. But again, i'm not really sure.

    Ok, one correction, Mercury wouldn't be able to hold onto a moon unless it was something like a VERY close captured asteroid in a circular orbit, but Venus's orbit is almost as far out as Earth's, in theory it would be able to hold a decent sized moon somewhat closer in than ours. The reason it doesn't have one is simply because one didn't form there and it never captured anything.

    From some experimentation I did in Universe Sandbox, without figuring out stable orbital resonance configurations (just "place and go"), I got good results keeping the orbital periods to at least 4 times the period of the next innermost object (so if Laythe orbits in 1 day, Vall would have to be on a 4 day or longer orbit, Tylo on a 16 day or longer orbit, etc). In case you're wondering, I was trying to figure out if Jupiter could capture the Earth and the Moon and have the Moon be stable around the Earth while the Earth is stable around Jupiter in a scenario like Fritz Leiber's "A Pail of Air".

    As well as what people have said about density (The planets have been given similar realistic mass but much smaller volume so are all super dense), the Jool system could be improved by making the moons have resonant orbits with each other. If two moons are interacting they should be put in a resonance where one has an even number and the other has an odd number (like 5:4 or 3:2) and normally that makes the gravitational pulls and pushes even out over time.

    @@TheEpicDragonCat as you discovered, they're not very stable otherwise. Moons larger than asteroid size are almost all either tidally locked if they're the only big one, or in an orbital resonance with other moons since the orbital resonance is asymptotically stable. The issue with moons like Minimus and Gilly that are so far out on circular orbits is that in an N body simulation (as opposed to patched conics) it doesn't take very much of a tug to put them on one of the manifolds that leads out through L1 or L2 after a couple of orbits. Gilly's orbit might already be on one of the outgoing manifolds even without any tugging.

    Who gave you the right to enforce copyright law? The autism police? XD

    @@TheEpicDragonCat excuse me do not criticize my disability. I am really autistic and I was really diagnosed in 2004. If you keep this up, then I will give you proof anyway. I take things seriously here. I take things literal So no little fun, little games that you’re playing. I’m training to be copyright enforcement officer. if you were complaining about the music, then I suggest you contact the owner or if you are the owner of this video then that should just get rid of the music otherwise, I will keep disliking this video for the rest of your life. (Indefinitely.)
