CMDR PAUSANIAS - THE SHIP OF THE MIND EXPEDITION - DAY 125

Y CLASS STAR WITH SUPER RING SYSTEM AND A GEOLOGICALHi Cmdrs,
With 38 jumps to do at the start of today to the target system I’ve made some healthy progress. I’m just over 13,000 ltyrs from Beagle Point now and quite close to the turning point.
The first thing I’ve come across today is this Y CLASS Star with a vast ring system stretching out a considerable distance into the surrounding space. It’s as if a whole planetary system never formed.
Not much else has spiked my curiosity so I reached The Carl Sagan and handed in 11,500,000 credits then jumped on reaching the Carrier a second time and handing in 13,000,000 credits, mainly Water World’s again, and one with rings too!
I haven’t reached the Carrier again today, for a third time, as I investigated this Geological Signal on this planet . . .
This one was another Silicate Vapour Fumarole site, something I’ve come across quite a few times now. I did land and have a drive around without collecting any materials as I’m full of all the ones I found here.
The only remarkable feature worth mentioning here is that the whole field seems to be spread out in a craters bowl so there where some inside the crater and others running around the rim.
Here I can be seen just starting to descend into the craters bowl with the fumaroles spread over a wide area. Off in the far distance, on the higher ground to the right, you can see some more fumaroles which I thought resembled Stone Henge on Earth from this distance, it wasn’t of course.
I’ve rolled my sleeping bag out in the Asp tonight, I’ll stay here and get a fresh start tomorrow.
