I've seen a few threads of similar Exploration Logs and I enjoy reading them, so I thought I might start chronicling some of the wonders I encounter. It would've made more sense to have done this at the beginning of my journey but hey ho. I'm slowly heading back to Sol at the moment (some ~18k LY out), but only to dust off the 'conda so I can head straight back out.Yesterday, I jumped into MYNOAW LR-T c4-411. Looked pretty plain and boring but there was a planet around the 3rd starIn the system map it didn't look quite spherical, and it wasn't too far away so I went in for a better look. I was not disappointed, it was wonderfully egg shapedI've not encountered such a squashed-looking planet, so was extremely happy with this find. When I was inspecting the system map, I also noticed it had an orbital period of just 0.2 days and a rotational period of 0.1 days. I figured I'd see if I could see any actual movement. I went in close, dropped out of SC and started taking pictures every 30 secs. I came back about 1h40m later and this is the resultPretty happy with the result, but I didn't realise the stars were spinning so fast - in hindsight I should probably have taken a picture every 5 secs or so to smoothen it out a bit. I'm also glad I returned when I did - the closest star was < 1 LS away from me and when jumping away from it I still nearly went over 100% heat. If I left it too much longer I think I might've come back to a cooked carcass of an Asp. I'm an expert at crashing into stars, but has anyone ever died from a star crashing into them?
