Exobiology Mania
Spent quite some time exploring Plaa Eurk DF-D c26-1 (Gigas) and while the views were simply astonishing, the time had come to leave and head to our Way Point - Csi+19-20201 (Blue Flash Nebula). This had a couple fo jumps to reach, however, having helped my friend at the Gorgon Research Facility with some Biological samples, inspired me to collect even more. It paid good credits, and to top it up, there was even an Exobiology rank for that. Those who know me, will have no doubt that I will accept the challenge to get this rank.
So I started scanning planets for Biological signals. Once landed I started sampling these Biological plants and took a lot of pictures of all varieties.
I kept jumping to new systems until I ended up at the Veil Nebula East. Never stopped admiring nebulae.
After spending some time collecting samples I headed to the Ring Nebula to check for any Bios there. The Ring Nebula is absolutely marvelous. It's quite a pity there isn't a system next to it so we can admire it more. The nearest system to the Ring Nebula is Ring Sector NI-S b4-0.
I plotted a coarse to Phylur AA-A h0, a system that a friend of mine suggested me to pay a visit since I was going to be in the vicinity. The Blue lights emitted from the Wolf-Rayet O Star and the a O (Blue-White) Star orbiting next to it was stunning.
After taking a break, I continued my journey to a couple of POIs such as the Aucopp AA-A h48 system which consists of two Black Holes and two Neutron stars. The view was quite amazing, and energising an FSD by supercharging it with a Neutron Star is not for the faint hearted. With my Krait Phantom I manage to get it supercharged up to approximately 283Ly. A couple of Notable Stellar Phenomena and that increased my Codex research.
I locked Csi+46-20087 (NGC 6884 Nebula) as the next target, and on the way I scanned more Biological plants, loads of them. This particular nebula had a distincted green colour. NGC 6884 (also known as NGC 6766) is a small planetary nebula surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star. The nebula is a vivid green hue, which makes for an excellent contrast against the blue-violet of the host star. The star appears to have shed most of its mass, currently only having 0.76 solar masses. The WN5 spectral type indicates this star was once an O-class star with between 20 and 45 solar masses. There are currently four metal-rich worlds orbiting the star, of which the final is suitable for starship landing. I had disembark my Krait Phantom when I landed on one of the landable planets, to check the sunset, however the temperatures were to high to resist more than a minute.
I finally plotted my way to meet all the other CMDRs at the Way Point we had established to meet, five days ago. Eventually I go to the Bleae thaa ry-s e3-17 system which was quite unusual. It had a Neutron star orbiting with an A (Blue-White) Star.
Finally made it to the first Way Point - CCsi+19-20201 (Blue Flash Nebula) - The Blue Flash Nebula (also known as NGC 6905) is a standard planetary nebula surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star. The nebula is a light blue color, and best seen from outside the nebula proper. The nebula was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. Two hot, high-metal worlds can be found in orbit of the host star. "
Landed on the Fleet Carrier and met with other fellow CMDRs. I handed my Cartographic Data and paid a visit to the Vista Genomics lab. I handed a lot of new samples and was awarded with the Exobiology rank of Elite Prestige I. That encouraged me to tank up to Elite V.
