SYSTEM:
HIP 84144
LOCATION:
342LY Corewards from Mechet (which is where I happen to be parked - Sol is 120LY rimwards from there at an angle, so I'd say HIP 84144 is about 420LY from the centre of the bubble)
COMMANDER NAME:
Cmdr Turjan
NOTABLE FEATURES:
Gas Giants
When I first visited HIP 84144 in Jan 2015, I was struck by the variety of the planets there, especially the extraordinary colours of the gas giants. I put together this combined image of the system's bodies at the time :-
(the axial tilts are accurate in that the images show each planet with the orbit line oriented horizontally)
I haven't visited the system recently, and a lot of visual awesomeness has been added to the game since then, so I don't know exactly how this will have affected things. I did just take a screenshot of the system map though, and it looks like this :-
...so the gas giants are still clearly all looking pretty spectacular, much like the same glorious "celestial bag of marbles" as I called them 18 months ago
Now though the system has the advantage of having a single landable moon, handy for tourists who want to stretch their legs before heading back home again!
This was one of the first systems I mapped in detail and it's still one of the most beautiful I've seen on my travels. The sheer variety and colour of the gas giants makes this system a one stop treasure trove for exotic planet hunters!
EDIT: For the historians out there, this is the system map as I screenshotted it back in Jan 2015 :-
