Shadow Head at Buya Aim HC-M d7-2196

Finally, I made a photo of the Shadow Head around the water-world in Buya Aim HC-M d7-2196: The bright white sun peaks over the horizon of the water-world, its light is bright and intense even though there is a good distance between the star and the water-world. Thus, the environment for a world covered by an ocean of fluid water becomes possible: the energy input is the right one for a planet in this orbit.

Buya Aim HC-M d7-2196 – Moon around A Water-world as Moon around a ringed Gas-giant

This system became the harbour for the fleet carrier Shadow Head for a week. The original plan was to reach Buya Aim HC-M d7-2196 with the fleet carrier. The Shadow Head will progress further towards the colonies for the second time. Possibly she will travel to the Centre and Explorer’s Anchorage, then having travelled a good part of the Southern part of the ED Milky Way.

This system has a variety of gas giants, lots of moons and a few nebulae not too far from it. As well it is placed between the Centre and the Colonies. Here, there is a moon around a water world in an orbit of approximately half the distance between Earth and the Moon (earth’s moon, therefore spelled with capital ‘M’).

Landing on the right side of this moon one gets some beautiful views of the dawn and set of this water-world with its polar ice cabs. I did so when finding this place in 3304: Just staying put and watching the horizon with the blue sphere.

I returned in 3305 on the Distant Worlds Expedition and found some geysers when landing my Beluga Liner on said moon.

The water-world itself is a moon of a ringed gas-giant. Unfortunately it is hard to get the gas-giant and the water-world together in one photo once staying on the surface of this moon around a moon of planet A13.

The image above was taken in 3304: I used the DBX I named Oumuamua when returning from my first visit of the colonies to the bubble.

Black Hole Systems in ED

There are multitudes of Black Holes inside the ED-Galaxy. I pointed out some interesting areas with a high density of such systems before.

Most Black Holes are of the smaller kind. From the ship’s cockpits these systems in many and probably in most cases remain hard to be detected by the naked eye of the navigator.

But sometimes, Black Hole Systems can be seen from many light years away due to the clouds of supernova remnants forming nebulae around their centre. This centre is the former position of the collapsing star during the process of Black Hole creation.

Iowhail JG-Y e1157, located inside the Norma Arm, is one example of such a system and the following picture shows how it looks like on approach.

Iowhail JG-Y e1157, located inside the Norma Arm, is one example of such a system and the following picture shows how it looks like on approach.

In May 3308 commander Seiling visited Ooscs Freau PX-U e2-670, a system located slightly over the galactic plain above Colonia, a system gathering a truly great number of commander tags on the map. This system shows one of the remnant nebulae as well. One might think, the nebulae looked more or less the same, which might – depending on the point of view – be true. On the other hand in the latter case the structure formed by the energetic polar jets during the supernova stand out clearly as shown on the following picture.

Ooscs Freau PX-U e2-670

One of the most famous examples of a nebula formed by a supernova inside the ED-Galaxy, which was discovered so far, is the Blue Bullet Nebula. I made some photos when visiting it in 3305. The size of this nebula is much bigger than the size of the above examples. The event creating the cloud lies further into the past and the shock wave forming the outer layer of the cloud or nebulae had more time to expand. It is possible as well: the event was more energetic and there was more material present forming the cloud. Possibly both may be true; here is the screenshot:

Blue Bullet Nebula

The smaller nebulae I described above do present some more objects inside than the Blue Bullet: they provide more or less regular star systems with the Black Hole (stars) as their gravitational centres:

The above image shows two ringed gas-giants inside the nebula of Iowhail JG-Y e1157 and – of course, as well an AspX in front of it.

Explorer’s Anchorage 3308

It took me nearly 100 jumps (bucky balling) to reach the Ocellus Station next to Sagittarius A Star.

Exactly three years ago, on an early April day in 3305, I last saw Explorer’s Anchorage on the return path from Distant Worlds 2 Expedition during the first week of the month, when leaving using the Beluga Liner Ahab’s Desire. From the outside, the Ocellus seemed not to have had changed much in its fast low orbit around the ELW.

Explorer's Anchorage

The stations interiors seem to have gotten some further improvement since I last visited this station. Anyway, I was able to sell some exploration data.

Empyrean Straits 5kly to 6 kly East of Explorers Anchorage: An area of space, where finding Black Holes with each jump is possible

The space at the position approximately 6kly East of Explorer’s Anchorage showed the highest density of Black Holes I ever saw: it is common knowledge that finding Black Holes in certain areas of the sectors surrounding the Galactic Centre is very likely and I found some in these regions before. But the area I investigated in this part of space presented one or multiple Black Holes, Neutron Stars and or White Dwarfs in systems way less apart from each other than the maximum jump range of my ship. Often, I saw a combination of more specimen of these stars in one system. I might have mapped at least 50 Black Hole systems in this area and there is an unknown number of even more systems with Black Holes. Navigating from Black Hole to Black Hole caused an erratic course in this part of space; the following image shows the approximate location of the area I describe.

enter image description here

Remark: According to my system map information no-one ever did enter one of the systems I was investigating; I guess this part of space might be worth some more exploration.

A small part of the erratic course I followed by jumping from Black Hole to Black Hole looks like this:

enter image description here

The above view of the galactic map shows a few Black Holes with set markers and by watching more closely there are numerous other Black Holes visible by just looking on the presented part of space. There are binary Black Holes existing in the surveyed area as well, as the next image proofs.

enter image description here

Detecting all these Black Holes in a sequence took a while but finally I turned West heading for Explorer’s Anchorage.

Journey from DSSA Rocksteady to a position approximately 6kly East of Explorer’s Anchorage

I followed a northern direction into the Norma Expanse, travelling further North, then heading East, reaching the Norma Arm on a newly set northern course before heading NE into the Arcadian Stream. Relative to the Centre I finally reached a position approximately 6kly East of Sagittarius A Star entering the Empyrean Straits from South.

Steadily Heading straight North, also meant intersecting one of the western corners of the Arcadian Stream again: the border between the Acadian Stream and the Empyrean Straits form a kind of jigsaw pattern and I passed the imaginary sector lines on my course straight to the North multiple times.

Once re-entering the Empyrean Straits for the second time I followed this direction (North) deep into the Empyrean Straits for some 5kly until a relative position East of the Centre.

The following images do represent a few of the sights I found on this journey.

enter image description here The above image shows the ring of a Red Dwarf in EGNAIX IH-M d7-465: The huge ring around the purple star occurs very dark due to its materials and the light regime inside this system: What a difference to the rainbow-coloured rings I saw a day before. But as well the dark ring is representing another amazing view and is in contrast to another ring inside the very same system.

enter image description here

Also, I discovered numerous other interesting bodies, e.g. plenty of Water Worlds, which were occurring multiple times compared to the Ammonia worlds as shown above.

System Description of PLAA AIN NN-K d8-25 – The Main Stars (Binary or Trinary System?)

Systems A and B stars, the M-class and the F-class stars described before, are orbiting each other in the remarkable short distance of 1 ls. This binary system as the gravitational centre of the whole system is orbited by the C star of the system, the third star, so we might speak of a binary instead of a trinary system – the massive F-class star is the dominating force inside this system anyway.

enter image description here

As well all other bodies of the system do revolve around the two centred stars; of course this is not fully correct, since all bodies of this system do force their gravitational influence on each other but the related effects of all other bodies to the two stars at the centre of this system are minute, so we might get away with describing the system as a binary star orbited by numerous other objects including a third M-class star plus two Brown Dwarfs of which one is a ringed Brown Dwarf as we saw at the location of the DSSA Rocksteady yesterday.

Referring to the system map we have to state that A, B, and C stars seem to be shown as a trinary system but as said before, this classification is an approximation of relative nature.

PLAA AIN NN-K d8-25

System Description of PLAA AIN NN-K d8-25 – Further Description: Planets, Moons and Brown Dwarfs

The three stars at the system centre are orbited by further bodies of the system, which are various planets and their moons and two Brown Dwarfs.

Since the system is classified as a trinary star system, all planets and further bodies are generically named and referred to as ABC # of body, so we do have bodies ABC 1 to ABC 11 with their possible moons. The system map shows as well that there is no body without any moons in this system.

ABC 7 and ABC 8 are classified as Terrestrial Water Worlds and do orbit each other themselves. Number seven shows a radius of 15.846km and is measured with approximately 45.5 Earth masses; this Terrestrial Water World may be at the upper limit of mass for such a type of planetary body.

ABC 10 is a dwarf star of type (class) Y and has a ring formed around it. A beautiful sight as the following image might show. In the background of the image we do see a section of one of the spiral galaxy’s arms.

PLAA AIN NN-K d8-25 ABC10

ABC 11 is a T-Tauri star, a dwarf star of class T. As the Y-class star T-class stars do not give any fuel to our star ships in this game. This T-class star has one planetary body in orbit, ABC 11 A, which is a ringed class 5 Gas Giant.

As well we do find three class 4 Gas Giants in this system, which are ABC 1, ABC 3 and ABC 5; the following image shows an impression from inside the ring around ABC 5.

PLAA AIN NN-K d8-25 ABC5

This systems in my point of view is as remarkable as beautiful. All its orbits do have a low eccentricity, so one could say all orbits of the planetary bodies are nearly perfectly circle-shaped and all orbits are centred in respect to the two stars A and B, which is true even for star C.

4th April 3308 A Few beautiful Sights of Norma Expanse

PLAA AIN NN-K d8-25

Inside this system I found some beautiful ring systems breaking the mostly white light of the main star presenting the whole spectrum of the visible light: rainbow colours.

PLAA AIN NN-K d8-25 ABC5

To be able to see the rainbow-effect one had to bring the ring between the vantage point – that is the ship’s position – and the star emitting the light to be broken by the particles of the ring. The above image shows some Moiré Effects too, which is due to some interference of my camera system's resolution and the wavelengths.

There was a second point I saw upon dropping inside the system: The gravitational centre of this system is formed by a binary star. Both stars were orbiting from each other in a distance of less than 1ls; the next image shows the two central stars and gives some impression of how close they were to each other - be aware of there are two M-stars in the image; the closer one occurs inside the white light rays of the F-star.

The smaller, red star is an M-class star revolving around the dominating F-class star: Have a closer look to see the pair moving in their seemingly eternal dance around each other. The F-type star inherits 1277.1 times the solar mass and has a surface temperature of 7318K, which is close to the upper limit of the known surface temperatures of this type of star.

The smaller Red Dwarf or M-class star only has 0.3984 solar masses. Red Dwarfs are the most common stars in the Milky Way, sometimes they do orbit F-class stars as we see in this system.

3rd April 3308 – Visit at the DSSA Rocksteady

Next stop: DSSA Rocksteady – one of the deep space fleet carriers located in system Prooe Hypue FH-U E3-2 in orbit around a ringed Red Dwarf star. This carrier is funded as its name indicates, rocksteady – around 31 Billion credits were placed in the carrier bank when I docked.

DSSA Rocksteady

The plan for Honest Tuck is to move through the space covered by the galaxy sectors south to the Galactic Center reaching out towards the North-East until reaching a point at a y-coordinate (northern line) of Explorer’s Anchorache and Sagittarius A Star, the supermassive giant at the gravitational centre of the Milky Way.

Due to the fact this operation is an exploration one the course will be some meandering through the space between the bubble and the centre ending east of Explorer’s Anchorache. While my space ship, Honest Tuck, my oldest vessel, is following this course, I will issue jump orders for the carrier Shadow Head as long as the Tritium depot is sufficiently filled. Shadow Head is heading for Byua Aim HC-M d7-2196. It will not be able to reach this destination without refilling the Tritium depot.

Turned out the Shadow Head will come to a temporary position at Ellairb IQ-Y d203

DSSA Rocksteady

Until I will have been returned to the Shadow Head it will sit in Ellairb IQ-Y d203. Only when I am docked I will be able to refill the Tritium depot from the carrier’s storage; it would make sense to change protocols and to enable the Tritium depot management to do these transfers when needed to enable the carrier to operate itself when I am not onboard as long as I issue jump orders.
