Sometimes, the most beautiful planets are those that look like Earth, but are just a little off.
But finding a world that's completely alien in every way is really exciting. Especially when it results in an awesome picture, like this.
In addition to a variety of visual styles for each planet, they each have different climates. The Reddit user who uploaded this image said, "I died trying to capture this absolute hellscape." Worth it.
But since these worlds are procedurally generated by an algorithm rather than by hand, finding a gorgeous view like this feels spectacular.
It's really hard to imagine that these worlds are somewhat randomly created, assembled according to a set of invisible rules.
Sometimes, you get a world that looks like something out of "Jurassic Park."
And other times, you get something that looks like this.
Each world has its own distinct personality, like this one that feels creepy and foreboding.
Compare that world to this one, which feels like something out of a sci-fi western. The only thing missing are the space tumbleweeds.
The person who uploaded this image said, "Landed my ship, got out, and turned around to my new desktop background."
That seems to be a common sentiment. The person who uploaded this image said, "This game is just a wallpaper generator I swear."
So, while actually exploring space and photographing your findings is probably not something you'll ever be able to do, playing "No Man's Sky" is pretty close.
And that's plenty exciting, especially since you'll probably be the first person to step foot on every planet you find.
No matter how long you'll play, you'll never see them all.
But, please, keep taking pretty pictures of what you find. We'd love to see them.
