We have some great screenshot threads already, but I figured it was about time we had a thread for sharing interesting finds of all kinds. One of the things that made me want a thread like this, is this recent discussion about a hazy "atmospheric" world.
Please feel free to share anything you have come across, whether it's your own discovery or not. This can be anything truly rare, or just a cool planetary alignment, unusual orbits, unusually large or small bodies, or even just a scenic view. Anything that was interesting in some way that made you take notice, but perhaps doesn't warrant a POI in the GMP (or maybe it does!).
Please put screenshots inside spoiler tags, and also use one set of tags per find, rather than per screenshot. Until the forum has an "expand all" button, it'll probably be easiest this way. This is more of a guideline than a rule.

I'll start by sharing a few basic but interesting things I stumbled upon this past week:
1. Tight binary pair of moons orbiting a terrestrial world. Binary planets are very common, as are binary moons that orbit gas giants, but I don't often find them orbiting a terrestrial planet like this, especially so close together. I can't help but feel like they're inside each other's Roche limit, but I haven't done the math.
2. A very large ring system. I can't remember the last time that I saw a ring system like this that was large enough to be clearly visible from the arrival point, despite being over 7,000 ls from arrival. The rings are thin and dim, but extend out to almost 60 ls (radius) from the planet. Additionally it was orbited by a gas giant moon, with its own moons. This one is within a couple of jumps of Rohini, along the Colonia road.
