Exploring the Galaxy - Week 2

Another ringed giant, apart from the massiove rings, it looks a bit like Jupiter. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy What the... I'm back in "Shit-space" :-( : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Oooh, a star from the IRL catalogue. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy That's a big star... Check the distance, I'm actually 149ls away! : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Big and bright. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Look, 296ly away and it's still freakin huge. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy The big star.. and also the large yellow thing on the left.. ;-) : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Ok, lets take a look. Apparently it's a yellow-white supergiant reaching EOL after passing 10bn years. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Ok, maybe I'm being boring but look, now I'm 1000 ls away and it still big. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy That star system was well worth a visit, the other stars look cool(?) too. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Light everywhere, yet my ship is dark ;-) : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy It's even friggin huge in the galactic map. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Now I'm nearly 3k ly away from home. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Enjoy the silence.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Another planet with a crapload of rings. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Abstract art? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Here's a tip. If you have the patience to plan your jump route, avoid Class M stars. They are generally boring with boring as hell planets. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Water world with some ice caps at the poles and some clouds. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Screenshot 0348 : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Red. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
You travel long enough, you'll end up in weird palces... : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Systems like this are not super-common. Interesting orbits. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy The binary star dance... : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy I'm starting to see some Nebulae in the distance.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Interesting cluster of starts. Will have to take a look later. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Gold planet? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Screenshot 0364 : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Another ringed giant. Milky way seen through the rings here. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
And now we see the weirly aligned clust of stars to the left.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Very distinctive ring.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Bye, giant frisbee. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy That's a lot of hydrogen to scoop up. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Nice colors... : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Me, my Asp and I. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Damn you string of stars, what are you? They have a very distinct glow. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Blue-White star ey? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Screenshot 0384 : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Going in that direction, yes. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Ooh, Nebula. Always worth a de-tour. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Well hello. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
A whole bunch of different star types and an Earthlike planet. Now we're talking.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy And there it is. My first Earth Like world -discovery. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Screenshot 0410 : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Time for a selfie. To bad, posting to social media will take rouglhy 4000 years. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Once you discover your first Earth-like world, you tend to spend some time flying around it ;-) : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Man I wish, planetary landings on planets with atmosphere was implemented. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Is that a giant Ice Cap or is it jsut reeeally cloudy down there? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy It only took 4000ly to find a friggin (previously uindiscovered) Earth like world. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Dramatic approach. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Moody. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Ah yes, more rings.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy The don't all look the same. This ringed planet has a lot of space around. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Quintuple star system but zero planets. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Hmm, jsut when you think you've seen them all.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy There is beauty in the weirdness.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Water worlds are not super uncommon. This one seems to have a crapload of storms going on down there. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
What the hell is this? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Those Nebulae are growing in size.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Another wonderfully weird ringed planet. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Icy rings, anyone? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Ok, seriuously.. What am I looking at? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Is that a... brown dwarf... with a positively huge ring system? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Look, that Nebula is looking pretty big now, isnt it? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Ok, that's a new one... : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
T-Tauri stars...Had too Google this one. Apparently T-Tauri stars are too cold to initiate Fusion reactions. Instead they are "driven" by gravitational energy. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Disco-space. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy It's getting dusty around here.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy You definitely notice when you're near or inside a Nebula. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Warp 9. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Where no man has gone before (actually, you'll be hard pressed to find a damn star not yet explored when you visit the "famous" Nebulae.) : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Looks fast, doesn't it? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Cool corona effect. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Different night sky in these regions. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Not too shabby view.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Look at that weird string of stars in the background. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Ah yes, fuel scooping. You will be doing this a lot if you plan a long trip... : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
You definitely see a lot of other stuff in the sky. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Another IRL catalogue star. Should be interesting.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Wow. Interesting indeed. If you count the T-Tauri stars, that's a whopping 16 stars. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy It looks super weird on the galactic map too. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
There's a nice little cluster of stars.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Cool, 61 astronomical objects. That's a fairly uncommonly large number. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy And a crapload of moons, it is.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy I need a giant CD player.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Ah the ringed giants, you never get old. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Another water world. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Say what? A ringed star? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Yes, kids. Now you seen it. A friggin huge ring system around a T-Tauri star. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Something doesn't look right here.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Another huge ring system and a green-blue star. Groovy. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Back to more common gas giants with rings. Looks awsome. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Time for a Lakon commercial.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Ice caps on this Water world are clearly visible.. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Bingo! Look kids, can you see it? : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy And hey, there's two of them. ED nerds (I mena who else is reading this, right?) my first Earth like double planet system wehere both planets are Earth like. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Looking good. I hearby claim this world! : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Ok, lets have a look-see. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Yeah baby, check it out. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Mine too ;-) : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Ringed Brown Dwarf. Think I saw one before, so no longer surprised. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Looks like aportal I'm supposed to go through.. Must.. resist.. urge... : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Holy smokes! Discovered 89 astronomical objects. Let's check the system map in next pic. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy That's a lot of bodies. Biggest body-count so far. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Another Gas giant with super bright rings (pure Ice I presume). : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
Once you discovered a bunch of Earth like worlds, Water worlds become less special. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Nice looking Saturn-esque planet. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Let's go for a ride. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy There is variation in the planetary ring generator ;-) : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
A jump near the maximum jump range of my ship. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Getting close to another Nebula. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Passing some Icy planet. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy Yes, Cat's Paw Nebula, we'll meet soon. : ED, Elite Dangerous, Space, Exploration, Galaxy
