Starfield might’ve failed to live up to its hype, but the effort put into the game doesn’t go unnoticed. Bethesda went above and beyond to create an accurate and immersive space adventure featuring real-life stars.
On Nov. 21, a Starfield player shared how they found out Stafield‘s stars are real and can be actually found in our sky. Some stars in Starfield have the names of real systems, and by comparing their properties shown on the game’s map like spectral class, mass, and magnitude, and the properties of real-life stars, they found out the two matched. This discovery made the player think about whether Starfield stars with fictional names have IRL counterparts with matching properties, and apparently, some of them do.
