Name: The Brothers
Location: DRYI AIM LD-E B39-O, C and C 1
Description:
Less than one thousand light years from the distant end of the Heisenburg bridge lies a system with a visually striking pairing: A Y-class brown dwarf orbited closely by a Class III gas giant. The gas giant orbits at just over 1 lightsecond away from the star, providing an arresting view of two behemoths in close formation.

Ruby-Sheet Nebula
Name: Ruby-Sheet Nebula
Game map search ref: Ooscs Fraae QY-S e3-274
Description: An amazing 28 surface locations within this neutron star stellar remnant nebula provide breath taking views. The tendrils of red weaving through the shades of blue bring to mind firey sheet lighting, a reminder of the violent explosion that created this now tranquil place. The light from the nearby Candy Floss Nebula, Dryaea Flee IO-V b18-13, changes to a stunning deep red as it passes through the local stellar gasses, appearing as a peaceful ruby embedded among chaos.

Since there is already an extensive entry on Praei in the Galactic Mapping Project, it might be better to just add the link to the Aronnax Expedition journal rather than append the paragraph below. I'm still thinking about whether or not to submit the terraformable water world moon with its own close-orbiting landable moon from the screenshot below as a separate POI.
Praei border summary, from the Aronnax Expedition
Map Ref: Smootiae AK-I d9-212
At the end of November 3303 the Aronnax Expedition arrived at the Praei borders and spent two weeks surveying the region for signs of spacefaring activity, as well as outdoor worlds and systems with all the materials needed for FSD boosting ('green' systems). A suitable location for a 'Forward Base' was discovered 750 LY from the Praei6 border, where Smootiae AK-I d9-212 hosts an Earth-like World and is in close proximity to several 'green' systems and a system with an Ammonia World. There are six Praei sectors and the border region is vast but several neutron stars in between the Forward Base and the border facilitate rapid travel and three separate areas close to Praei3, Praei5 and Praei6 were surveyed in some detail: Earth-like Worlds, Ammonia Worlds and green systems were found near each. The region proved to be a location of outstanding natural beauty with a variety of unusual and spectacular sights, details of which can be found in the expedition journal: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...x-Expedition?p=6206665&viewfull=1#post6206665.

Thuechu FW-C d90 AB 5 a is a terraformable water world moon with a landable moon of its own in a very close orbit, seen here with the gas giant parent in the background.
Geyser / planetary / POI combination submission? (the planetary body and geyser location are notable in their own right. Leaving this up to project managers to determine)
Name: Roche Terminal
Game map reference: Flimbuae GY-P D6-7 (1 C A, -26.7683 -93.1863 )
Description:
Roche Terminal is a small 534km moon-of-a-moon in the Flimbuae GY-P D6-7 system. The system's star is a K7 IIAB giant at 36.8 solar radii, located 1000~ lightyears over the galactic plane at the south end of The Ascendance.
Roche Terminal has stunned geologists with its extreme physical characteristics, orbiting its parent at an incredibly fast 0.2 days, or 4.8 hours. From one point of the surface, distance to its parent has been measured as only 3.20 megameters, causing it to take up a very large part of the sky. It's predicted that due to this dangerously close orbit, the moon is on the verge of breaking apart due to tidal stress.
Total solar eclipses happen several times a day, but are highly fleeting, starting and ending very quickly, and are often only partial, depending on where the observer is landed.
Explorers are warned that the regular and sudden eclipses can pose a danger to exploration, as the object becomes extremely dark, with a thick veil of dust in low-altitude regions.
Powerful tidal heating has contributed strongly to major silicate vapour volcanism, with one site identified, at the coordinates -26.7683 -93.1863.
The geysers at the site spew white smoke, with fluctuating activity, occasionally dying down completely.
Materials that can be found on the planet and at geysers include Chromium, Manganese, Vanadium, Tungsten, Antimony and Mercury.

Quite remarkable to find ruins in one of the inner arms!
As I said its not really my find... Cannon have a list of all the finds: https://ruins.canonn.technology and there are quite a few missing from out EDSM galmap.
I think as for Ancient Ruins the full list would be here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...suvJefdocLK-7iZl1Q81JlQ3es/edit#gid=319124999
I have some photos if there is any need to add them?

We are not gonna add all the known ruins as that would clutter the map (we tried it once as an experiment). However, we would like to add all known areas where ruins can be found. Currently we outline the perimeter of the regor area as well as the Skaudai ruins. Looks like we will have to add a new area within the near 3kpc arm as well as a few others...

We would need photos from ruins in Eta Carina, NGC 3199, Blaa Hypai and Prua Phoe in addition to the Eorl Auwsy images provided by FilmExile.
Ancient Ruins so far:

I stumbled across some ruins in Eta Carina a while back, in Eta Carina Sector EL-Y d16. Screenshots here (feel free to take any you need).

[None as of now. Any suggestions?]

WEPAE AA-A H2 | C / D / E
Description:
5000ls from entry lie two pulsars right next to a black hole. When the timing is right you can manage to get both pulsars in one frame. Since the neutron stars don't get affected by the black hole you can get some bizarre looking screenshots. Discovered by WDX.

Thank you Satsuma! Glad to see that something unique like that was persistent, this is helping my goal of populating the east side of the galaxy with points of interest
