4 star system, can we visit?

Hi all, I was reading about an exoplanet recently discovered with 4 stars which is 136 LY away from Earth (basically down the road). If this has only just been discovered i suppose it's safe to say it's not in the game, but would be a cool addition. Are there any other 4 star systems in Elite?

Lots of them, go exploring my friend. Also they update the ED universe with these real life things. I'm heading back to sol to see what the bright spots are on Ceres ( is that how you spell it?)
 
yeah i was reading as well the article.. immedeatly alttabbed to ED to try search this system but no avail (hence it wasnt implemented yet)
the "system" name should be Gliese 581

Here's an example.
It's rare when four stars this close to each other.

This is what I dread the most whilst exploring.

I jumped in between these two for example, deep inside the primary's corona; temp shot up to 150% in about 3 seconds before I double tailed it out of there with a few percent heat damage.

That's a nice find so close to Sol.

Most systems I have seen like this have been well outside the wild west range :)

Just came across a 9 star system, system last night. They are quite impressive. Even had a Neutron star in this one!
 
Throw in a black hole and/or a neutron star and things get exciting real quick

I had a heart stopping jump this evening........I am hunting Neutrons/Black Holes..........jumped in to a Neutron system, and as I came out of Hyperspace and de-celerated/zoomed toward the Neutron star, a B star buzzed me so close that my fuel scoop activated.........no chance to react, nothing to do if I could have......all I could do was duck.........lol....
 
I was in one with 5 last night, can't remember the name, but I'm about 30ly from lave.

So I would say - not uncommon certainly not common. With 400 billion systems I would say it's inevitable.
