There is not a set schedule, except for exoplanets. When exoplanets are added to the NASA Exoplanet Archive (exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu ) we try to have it in SpaceEngine by the next time we update.

The universe is so huge from the point of view of simulation in SpaceEngine 😮 When my retirement time comes, I hope that it will be possible to choose a planet in deep space, where no one will find me and I will finally have peace and create another games for fun 😎

Dear SpaceEngine - Team, it would be cool if GLIMPSE-17775 could be added as new type of stellar objects to SpaceEngine.
There was strong evidence for it being a black hole star.
