Starting location for both Mass Launch Events.

One of the primary stars in the Norma constellation, visible from Earth with the naked eye.

One of the primary stars in the Norma constellation, visible from Earth with the naked eye. Viewing the constellation from Earth, this particular star is an optical double with Gamma-1 Normae, though the stars are in fact over 1,300 light years apart.

GEC POI: Petri Rings. A close pair of ringed bodies - a gas giant and its water moon - both bearing NSPs with molluscs and crystals.

GEC POI: Norma's Emerald. A bugged T Tauri protostar which emits green light.

GEC POI: Candy River Green Gas Giant. A ringed Class I Green Gas Giant with several maroon stripes and vivid green streaks. There are also 6 landable moons and a tritium hotspot.

Hollow Veil Guardian Sites. Inside and around the Hollow Veil Nebula, numerous locations of Guardian ruins can be found. Explorers are welcome to wander the nebula looking for these sites before moving on to further waypoints.

The Cradle of Time. A large, high gravity high metal content world with fast orbital and rotational period, orbiting only 0.53 ls from its Y type parent star. Despite its proximity, you can exit your ship on foot without incinerating yourself. This is the location of a winning Stellar Screenshots entry from CMDR mint_the_mighty.

Mystic Moon. An airless icy moon (body A 2 a) that orbits a Class II gas giant closely with an orbital period of under 22 hours. In addition, the orbit of this world is inclined by 59 degrees, offering swiftly changing views of the gas giants rings from the icy surface, which is showing vast lineae and sharp mountains as well as cryovolcanic activity.

Oneiros' Shroud. A purple planetary nebula with a landable planet, and an Earth-like world present in the system.

A red giant catalog star with a ringer hot jupiter in orbit - and orbiting the hot jupiter is a landable moon. Very toasty, great photo opportunities.

A ringed Earth-like world with a landable moon just 0.5 ls away.

An icy moon with a very close orbit to the icy ring of its parent body.

A landable ringed moon, closely orbiting its ringed parent at a high inclination. Staggeringly beautiful views of multiple rings at cross angles.

Circle of Hell. Orbiting the main star of this system is a hellish ringed metal-rich world with vast oceans of molten rock (body 1), which forms a tight binary with another metal-rich planet (body 2) almost half the mass of Earth. The ring is tilted around 25 degrees in relation to the equator of its parent, a weird feature that may be the result of the combined gravitational influences of the nearby main star (approx. 14.2 ls away) and the smaller planet of the binary, shifting the bigger planet's axial tilt to roughly match that of it's companion while shifting the inclination of its ring system's orbit in a different way. Whatever the cause, this phenomenon provides great views from the surface of the smaller planet.

A landable metal rich body so close to its M class parent, you scoop fuel as you are on your landing approach. On the surface, rough terrain and deep crevices prevail.

A helium rich system with 132 bodies. Body 11f is a moon with a thin oxygen atmosphere and mountainous terrain - great potential for climbing, here.

Bodies B 10 a & 10 b are a close binary, and in addition orbit closely around their parent GG1, which has a thin icy almost transparent ring and minimal inclination. If you get the timing right, you will be rewarded with beautiful vistas.

GEC POI: Blue Lagoon. A dark blue landable moon with a curious phenomenon: when it is in the shadow of its parent gas giant, the atmosphere appears to glow in the dark, as a thick blue fog.

A class G white-yellow supergiant, and the final waypoint of The Normal Expedition. Thank you for traveling with us!
