From the Hawking Nebula towards Sag A*

The Hawking Nebula was a beautiful visit. I must have seen four or five types of white drawf stars - not my favorite, for sure, but interesting to jump to.Before I left, I went looking for biological sites. Found a few bark mound sites, including this one in a nice bowl-shaped valley.
I'm trying to jump more quickly to get back home, using neutron stars whenever possible. I'm doing a lot of scanning and jumping, only stopping to map the most valuable bodies. Even so, a few really interesting systems catch my eye, like this gas giant caught up between three red dwarf stars.
And these two Class B stars right next to each other - I really dodged a bullet jumping here.
I did still find time to farm some materials. There were a couple of anenome sites along the way. These things are my favorite.
Because I'm doing more neutron jumping now than I have been in the past, I'm finding some phenomenon I didn't think would be possible, like this neutron star right next to its Class G sister.
And, maybe most unexpectedly, an Earth-like world in a neutron star system! This is number 11 for me to discover. I take my time with these. They're always a welcome sight out in the black.
Finally, I've reached the system with my pit stop - the DSSA Sublime. Another 125M credits in the bank for that leg of the trip - and a little time to stretch my legs outside of this cockpit before heading to Sag A*.
