Found this system via eddb.io. The Class V gas giant is 1ls from it's White dwarf primary, rotational period of 0.0d, this system I just had to see. Traveled the 16Kly and was not disappointed. Video spped is 200 times normal speed.

Very nice! What sort of time period was that taken over?

The Class V gas giant did a full rotation in about an hour, but as I saw the M class star approach, I decided to attempt getting it's rotation as well. However FD decided to restart the servers, so I think I recorded ~7 hours total before having to stop [smile]

Very nice, thanks for posting. Will we ever get accretion disks around stars from these sorts of interactions?

This is an in front and behind comparison on that Herbig Ae/Be star and gas giant. The gas giant is halfway behind the star to the left on the second screenie. As you can see, the planet is almost as big and revolving really tight around it. With a nice big blue star as a backdrop. :D

Didn't need time lapse for this Multi star system. I didn't dare to super jump off it , as you can see it would be quite dangerous. Spun up by companion's, would this be a millisecond pulsar?

You see those "sun flares" coming out of the main star (not the neutron star)? I've seen them before and they seem to extend beyond the exclusion zone, are they just visuals or can they actually physically hit/harm your ship?

In-game flares and coronal ejections are just graphics, they're not hotter and they do no harm. Fly through them with out a care.
