Looking for the Neutron Star
28 Sep 2015Lase Mooray
Now that I have Aurora set for deep space travel it is time to take her out in a serious research mission. I have heard that there is a neutron start field and have decided to go and investigate.
My first waypoint is the Cat's Paw Nebula, then moving on to NGC 6357, followed by Baa Hypai AA-A h68 and finally Great Phio AA-A h33. This is going to be something close to a twenty thousand light years worth of travel.
So far I am about seventeen jumps out from Rafferty's Mobius and have another sixteen before I reach my starting system. After that I shall be scanning every system from that point. I except there to be already scanned systems close to the nebulae but plenty in between. Given the distance I plan to cover maybe I will find my first Earth-like.
The image above, by the way, is my first refuelling stop. While I was waiting for the tanks to fill (I also have added a 64 ton secondary tank) a massive solar prominence occurred right next to me.
