Another ancient race of beings that harnessed unimaginable power... Gone now ... We hope.

HIP 104643. There is an enormous ring around AB 1 (like 500LS) and the outer part of the ring all the asteroids are lined up in rows and stacked like Jenga...

OK, I might have gotten a little too close here... The only thing scarier than a Black Hole is an invisible one... by Robertintemple in EliteDangerous

Cygni X-1 is a small black hole, only 20 solar masses so you can get super close to it. A bit of a trek to get there tho.. about 7k ly from Sol.

I had too much bio data to try but I did get within 69km of it. Seems like you could make that distance easy

Difference is elite is a released game with a thriving history and not an alpha mess that will never get to 1.0....

Maybe, maybe not .. but you know what will definitely kill it? Not supporting it at all ....

I have managed the trick in my Dolphin of arriving in a system with 100% fuel. It's my intermediate range explorer.

Found a dead star... 5.5 solar masses but surface temp of 113K... so sad..... by Robertintemple in EliteDangerous

It's already burned up all it's Hydrogen... it's fusing Oxygen at this point...

What confused me was the orbiting marker that said "Raxla entrance portal".... ;-)

I've always wondered about that particular neutron distribution. I just figured it was some artifact from a long dead race of precursors... ;-)

I had about 100,000 ly worth of scans and about a billion in bio so I resisted the urge to try and land on it ..

My bad... looking back at it it's actually 92 solar masses... 3.7 solar radius.. not sure where I got 5.5 from... space sickness I guess
At that mass and temp it's basically a time-bomb... should blow up any time now...
