I'm still waiting for Drew Wagar's unofficial "Current Galnet Events And How They Relate To The Lore" video.

I'll need to do a bit of research for that, but never say never.

Cheers,

Drew.

Tonight's Astrotour kicks off in the Deneb system, called "Alpha Cygni" in Elite. Be aware it's a reasonable trek (1.4 Kylies) from the Core Worlds/Bubble. We will head back toward the Core during tonight's session! Rendezvous at Alpha Cygni 2.

Cheers,

Drew.

I've been brushing up on my lore, when not taking the "Visited Stars" of the map as a sort of "glorified explorer's checklist".

Point is, pardon me if I'm absent, I've got a lot on my to-do list.

Carl Sagan is the man! I did a nerd-out thing and visited the star system mentioned by Neil deGrasse Tyson on last-week's episode (Nov 10) of Cosmos.

See you there on Thursday, CMDRs!

Kashyapa

Commander Edgar Starwalker recommends this spectacular Ringed Earth-like world with exactly 1G.

Please note that the destination system is "Evelyn's Light" which is about 2,000 lightyears further on. If you don't think you can make this distance in 1.5 hours, then please proceed directly to Evelyn's light in advance.

To understand what is special about this final system, the following will give you an idea.

Cheers,

Drew.

Huge thanks to all who took part in the final episode of the Elite Dangerous Astro Tour at Evelyn's Light.

Evelyn's father (CMDR Jellowiggler) told me that the beacon sound at Evelyn's light is not just a sound effect but the actual ultrasound recording of Evelyn's heartbeat, hours before she passed away. He wanted to join us live but wasn't able to, but has watched since and expresses thanks to all CMDRs who took part.

Thanks everyone. Youtube video of our rendezvous here is uploading and will be available this evening.

Cheers,

Drew.
