I've seen a couple, but yours has much better lighting than most of them. Nice find.Found this bubblegum giant. Not sure how pink is pink enough, but this is the pinkest I've found.

Nice. This is my pinkest, although it's not very smooth
Thought this gas giant really looked like a water world
Notable Stellar Phenomenon very close to a star. EDIT: If you guys like to find this type of stuff, the region I'm in, Dryman's Point, seems to have a lot. My trip has been 158kly and I hadn't found any until the last 2kly, in this region, where I found 4 systems with them.

You masked off the system name but left it exposed in the ring information.
Nice finds.
Haha yeah, forgot about the ring info. But in this case it was more force of habit, the system isn't particularly valuable.
The "Elite Observatory" app helped me rediscover old finds. I do not know why, but I did not mark this very unusual planet when I found it at first time. I found it again when I scanned the logs. I'm quite far from this place now I'm in a hurry there, that once again look at it. High gravity 5.68G, and... and... It is special. I will not say, otherwise I will have to drink a few shots! 
By the way, does anyone know how rare an landable ice planet with such notable gravity?

In my data, there are 22,235,369 landable Icy Bodies in total. Only 23 of them have gravity higher than 5.68. So that's pretty darn rare.
Here are the top 10:

Whoa, I would've never thought that icy bodies can be this high-g. Considering that the highest-g landable planets - metal-rich and high metal content worlds - range up to 11.01 right now, this is pretty impressive.
According to my own logs, I've never even seen a landable icy body with over 2 g's in almost 16.000 systems.

That's the King, Caesar & Goddess of the large landable planets list!
Really large landable planets: the list. (MK II)
Hey folks, I thought it could be nice to reference the largest (radius wise) landable planets we encountered so far. A top 50 shall be maintained and updated in this post, maybe more later on. Would you be kind enough to provide one (or more) nice, moody screenshot(s) of your planet, as well...
Hmm ... Orvidius will probably be able to find larger ones) Thank you! It is strange that this topic is in another section of the forum. I didn’t know about it
I checked the logs using the Observatory. This landable planet has the largest gravity and radus among all my finds.
It is close to the Colonia. I will return there to complete system scan and then I will give system name. Reported.

Just found this realy strange hmc. I have never seen a hmc with helium atm, only ice worlds. Plus that neon must be doing crazy light shows when a volcano errupts.
Found another crazy one!
Twice as hot as our sun, iron in the atm and almost 90° axial tilt.

Sorry but how the hell can a planet be hotter than a star?! All of physics must have gone to pot!!
Edit: I am an idiot. The star must be waaay hotter. Sorry 'bout that.

Hotter than the surface of a star, which is a lot cooler than the center of the star. Still 12,615k seems a bit excessive. Most rocks melt at around 1,200k but rocks don't really boil, I suspect the key point is the atmospheric pressure, which is over 11,000,000 atmospheres, and just like water, the temperature at which rock turns to a gaseous state increases with pressure. I suspect the figures are off somewhere, but with over 12,000,000 atmospheres the calculation is probably correct, the rock would likely remain in a solid state, but the figures the calculations are based or are probably dodgy.
I wouldn't trust the numbers completely though, the Stellar Forge has been known to throw a few dodgy numbers around, but there are known hot exoplanets. KELT-9b orbiting an A class star is over 4600K, well over half the temperature of the suns surface and hotter than many smaller stars, so if it was orbiting an L type dwarf it would be hotter than its star, in fact hotter than M's and also many K's, but then it gets it heat from the fact the A class has a surface temp of 10,000k so if it was orbiting a colder star the planet wouldn't be as hot, still it would be interesting trying to land on a really hot planet!
The core of Jupiter should be running at a balmy 24,000 degrees C, pressure in the ballpark of 100,000,000 atm. For comparison, pressure at Earth's core is only just below 4,000,000 atm. So trying to land on a planet like that would be somewhat similar to land on a gas giant core. Actually, planets like that make me think they are really "failed" gas giants...
SEDIT: And no, I don't think we should be able to land somewhere like that or get much out of trying. Maybe a role for very specialised ships somewhere down the road?
EDIT2: I really should pick up The Core on Bluray. Fantastic movie.
