So, here is a screenshot, nothing remarkable really but I was thinking about another thread on the exploration forums about remarkable systems, and it struck me this was one;
In this picture are 5 stars, Byaa Aerb BJ-T d3-2 A, B, C, D and E, and this little moon is Byaa Aerb BJ-T d3-2 ABCDE 1 b a.
I got to thinking, I have seen plenty of AB and ABC, as well BC and CDE and etc, but how common is ABCDE, going through my records I can only find one other example. Has anyone encountered anything of a higher order? Say an ABCDEF? I must admit when I flew back to get some screenshots after realising just how unusual it was I was hoping for 5 huge blazing orbs in the sky, not 5 little points of light, that sort of takes away the impact travel to my other example to see if it presents a better view, I will do that soon.
So fellow explorers, here's a challenge and I guess an achievement, can anyone can come up with a higher order orbit around stellar barycentre?
