Waterworlds, My first Eathlike, and Stuck on the path of other Commanders.

After my ship's computer crashed and truncated my last flight log, I discovered quite a few systems, including one with two waterworlds. It was a lovely system full of 6-7 High Metal Content planets, 2 Waterworlds, a Metal Rich planet, and some of the planets were teraformable. Here's to hoping I get the data turned in before anyone else. I went from every system I jumped into being undiscovered to every few being discovered to matching someone else's flight plan exactly. about 8 systems in a row, I jumped in and saw CMDR D.LICIOUS on everything worth scanning. It got a little old, but at least I found a pretty Earthlike during that time:
Earlier in the day, I also stumbled across this beautiful binary system:
The two stars were so close together! I can imagine them colliding very soon (relatively).
These rings were really interesting. It was my first time seeing a set of rings spaced out like this. The planet wasn't worth scanning, but I saw it out of the corner of my eye and took a minute to just enjoy the view.
A few uneventful hours later, this HUGE and VERY bright Blue-White star emerged in front of me when I jumped in. It was almost painful to look at, but so pretty.
Shortly after that star I discovered a very pretty gas giant:
I began closing the distance to the Lagoon Nebula, and a road of Blue stars began to stretch out below me as if to welcome me...
Then it happened... I found an undiscovered system with an Earthlike world. It has human breathable atmosphere, but is about 1/3rd the size of earth.
I came in close to get a look:
Wow. In the end the system had 1 Earthlike, 5 High Metal Content (1 is teraformable), and a Rocky Ice Giant.
I got to within about 150-200 Lightyears of the Nebula, and found a pre-discovered Earthlike. Nothing too much to write home about. Plenty of High Metal Content planets worth scanning as well. It's time for some rest.
