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.

Any other link that works?? Still can't watch the video >;(

Planets do not rotate nor do they orbit.  Seems it works exactly like I theorized.

Yeah after playing it's definitely faked. 

1 more day to wait :) My PC is ready; hopefully they will support this game for a while!

How are you calculating planet size?

Model a scaled version of the planet+camera, and then use the in-game distance as a scale factor.

Lucky PS4 player.
