Sirius 5th Belt - How to get there

[bala]

Sirius is a Wormhole itself.
And the planets are spinning around the wormhole in 5 different belts.
1st (inner) belt is spinning 1 rotation/45 hours
2nd belt is spinning 1 rotation/80 hours
3rd belt is spinning 1 rotation/64 hours
4th belt is spinning 1 rotation/7,66666... hours
5th belt is spinning 1 rotation/12 hours

Well the 1st 3 planets belts go really slowly, and almost at the same speed, so mostly of the time is actually impossible to reach the 3rd ring, because planets are not in right alignment.
But with this info and the time that clan estimate to recharge the engine, you can estimate where the 1st planet will be and after that you can estimate where the 2nd planet needs to be in order to be aligned with the 1st one and so on and so on...
After 3rd belt is easy, because planets spin really quick and its just a mater of waiting 1 hour or so to get the next ring available

Here is a picture for the clan that plain to spend 36 hours in each planet:

Youtube is ok for video's though.

You are a GENIUS!

Thanks for the information.

lol ty LOOL,

Anyway, that was the speed of the belts on the last Friday, nothing can grantee that SS don't change it some day, and i don't know if they did it already...
And if they do, i think that finding the way how to measure speed of different belts will be fun for you

-great work, bala
-ps, don´t forget that you have a pilot on the trantorserver

Well gratz are in order for figuring that whole thing out...so a big GRATZ to you m8...so after you spent ALL that time figuring that out..tell me....was it worth it?

so after you spent ALL that time figuring that out..tell me....was it worth it?

no

All planet in sirius make their orbit clockwise? anticlockwise? or some planet clockwise and others anticlockwise?

Clockwise, and i don't understand why is Sirius the only system with hiden orbit lines. Its really hard sometimes to identify the belt that each planet bellongs, even after understandig how they work.

Based on Bala's data on periods of revolution I have outlined a Sirius Route Planer that allows anyone to calculate the next jump occasion for any given initial planet constellation.
It comes in English and German
Use the formula provided on this map and good luck all Jumpers
Account for collapsing planets yourself, though.
If you don't want to calculate the jump times yourself you can use folowing accompanying excel sheet that does all the work for your convenience.

PS: The route planner also works with other revolution periods, just in case they change in the future. Simply replace the T values provided.

Hello Community,

Yesterday I decided to measure the Sirius ring times myself as precisely as possible. The update is coming late, I know, but still better than never I suppose.
The current times (by Bala) are not bad but I've been aware for some time that the accuracy is not enough to make reliable jump predictions with my Sirius-Calculator Excel file.
Sorry, don't know why it took me so long

As reference system I chose the Sirius background with the distant bright light source as reference point. Also, in this reference system the wormhole stands still and doesn't rotate. I corrected the perspective distortion and measured the angular positions of 5 randomly chosen planets at two different points in time. The obtained angle differences per elapsed time allow for very easy calculation of all orbital periods. See attached image.

The revolution periods are:
Ring 1: 74.1 h
Ring 2: 61.3 h
Ring 3: 100.9 h
Ring 4: 55.2 h
Ring 5: 66.3 h

PS: OF course one can argue the 1st ring stands still, too, since it doesn't matter whether it revolves or not. One can always get there directly from the wormhole and the Sirius expedition always commences on ring 1. Absolutely correct. Though, "negative" and "positive" orbital periods would have to be assigned to various rings, that is, some rings move clockwise others counter-clockwise, depending on whether that ring has a longer or shorter orbital period than ring 1. I simply prefer to assign all rings a common sense of revolution, for the purpose of simpler calculations.

Best wishes

Nice work V1, thanks for doing this for us all, I'm not that genious mathematically so I have no clue of your calculations lol, but for the rest it is superb ^^
