Hey folks!

It's been a busy month for exoplanet data releases, with as many, if not more, than the entirety of Spring!

We appreciate the increase in quantity and quality of catalog notes we've been receiving from the community across all platforms. The object-specific fixes you see in patch notes frequently stem from your academic finds, so keep up the good work!

This update brings a fix to unit conversion for stars with masses defined in Kg, as well as a fix for artifacts with ship engine effects for those who like to fly in Ultra quality. And of course, the catalog update with 142 new exoplanets and more~

To opt in to the Beta branch, go to your Steam library, right-click SpaceEngine, then go to Properties> Game Versions & Betas, and select beta (public beta branch) from the list.
