Reached Arm's End today... wow what a journey; what a view! A creamy blue thin slice is all the Milky Way is from here, such a lonely thing in an eternal void of black. So cold and lonely out here, well... except from the carrier's crew, but still, the chill of being this far from... well... anything. It redefines the meaning of sending a shiver down your spine.

I'm gonna sit for a while, take some pictures and just exist for a time out here. Never gonna be here again, might as well savour it.

Arm's End... the locale of the best (and most exclusive) beer in the galaxy, I drink to you and the challenge I have conquered!

Discovered my first neutron star today, shortly after flying through the gravitational lens of a black hole nearby. Landed on the first planet in the system and wow the views... the number of nebulae in the sky, the band of the galactic core (far better than what you get in the bubble) and the luna-like surface... it is an incredible combination.

Now it's on towards the galactic core. May visit Sagittarius A* on my way in, but likely I'll do that on my way back. As my plan is to go past the core and further out, then return to Colonia to cache my data and see what the new bubble of humanity has to offer.

Hopefully in this trip I'll finally find my first Wolf-Rayet and black hole systems.
