Hey Joe, do we have an answer if planets rotate?

Well the patch made the stars move, but now it's even more confusing.

 

On Earth/a real planet, technically the stars+sun+moon+planets are stationary during the night. Instead it's just Earth spinning which makes it look like everything else is moving.

 

Well in NMS with the new patch, the stars move during night. But they appear to move at a different rate than the sun. And moons/planets don't move or else they move really slow. So it confirms they are faking it and my idea with the Sun "orbiting" the planets is true.

 

It's still possible the planets ALSO rotate, but we'd need a timelapse from a planet surface looking up at another planet/station to know for sure.
