This is for worldbuilding purposes. I'm not exactly a "science dude", so I'd like to get a better idea of our solar system and beyond, preferably with links to layman-friendly explanations on things like:
- distances and travel time not only having Earth as a starting point, but from any given point to another
- if at all possible, including hypothetical alien and/or future technologies
- Earth-like planets
- locations that might be able to sustain life, and which kind of life it could sustain
- locations that, while unsuitable to carbon-based life, might receive enough energy to sustain artificial intelligence
I remember there's some kind of simulator or engine, that can run on a computer... anyone remembers the name? And would it run on an aging laptop with an i5 processor and Intel HD4400 integrated graphics?
Thanks!
EDIT: I guess I'll make this question a bit more approachable, so... what are some YouTube channels that can teach me more the basics of our solar system, nearby systems, the Milky Way, and how all of those are linked together?.

Upcoming Dates:
Timasomo Showcase Thread -- Saturday, November 5
Technically all work should be finished before November 1st (but if you're running up on time, that's never really been a hard deadline 😉).
November 1-4 are for putting finishing touches on the project to ready it for the showcase. If you need an idea of what the Showcase thread will look like, here's last year's.
Next Saturday will be the showcase where we all get to show off what we've made!
Update us on your progress so far!
What did/didn't you get done this week?
Anything go according to plan?
Anything go off the rails?
Any successes or struggles to share?

Have you been properly spooked? Did you acquire a fear of a procession of mummies coming to pluck a hair from you each night to teach you about conservationism?
Do you have any annual traditions you follow? Haunted houses, straw mazes, or cider making? Do you or an acquaintance go all-out with decorating?
Do you have horror movie marathons? For fun, or to put on your Mary Shelley hat to look at horror as capturing a zeitghost like Them! for nuclear war, slasher films for rising crime, or Us for class issues? (Leprechaun's bi allergory is an outlier)
Do you have a favorite costume, or future costume idea? A shambling uncanny valley girl, group human obstacle course, ensemble of 3/7 dwarves, or reverse trick-or-treat grandparent?
