Massive Nebulae Excursion, Day 2
29 Dec 2016Tervaskanto
Day 2While en route to the Cave Nebula, I stumbled upon a nice unexplored system. While it didn't contain any Earth-like planets nor water worlds, it had a binary star system of scoopable stars orbited by four gas giants, each with a ton of landable moons. While not the most profitable system ever, I figure it's a worthwhile system to spend time scanning to get a bit of extra scan data...every bit toward the Elite ranking helps! Of course, that logic is probably why it took so long to arrive at my destination...there were several systems that, for one reason or another, I decided to fully scan, despite their low values. As such, I have not explored the nebula itself all that much, although the couple systems I did scan before calling it a night were sparsely populated with stars and absolutely devoid of planets. Hopefully Day 3 yields better results as I continue exploring the Cave Nebula a wee bit longer before departing for the NGC 7822 Nebula, also known as the big bright bundle of stars that drove me crazy when I noticed it in the distance around the Iris Nebula.
