Submitted to the WP3 mapping project:
System Nyeajeau XF-T c5-9
Triplet of Earth-like worlds
Not only does this system feature a rare triplet of ELWs (even rarer than "merely" three ELWs in the same system), but the three planets orbit close enough to be mutually tidally locked, and all three skirt the lower limits of mass and temperature for Earth-like habitability. Inhabitants of the inner binary would see a blue-green marble appearing larger than Earth's Moon hanging motionless in the sky. Meanwhile those living on the world that orbits those two would see two brilliant little blue beads juggling together in a neverending dance, their common center likewise fixed in the sky. There would be plenty of time for stargazing too, since thanks to the tidal lock, all three planets have days and nights that last for weeks. The cherry on top, for those interested in exploration credits, is a terraformable WW as the fourth planet.
Proposed name: "Al-Qūhī Oasis" after Abū Sahl al-Qūhī, a great mathematician and astronomer of 10th century Baghdad, who is said to have first developed an interest in parabolic arcs while juggling in the market.
Worth mentioning that I am not the first to visit this system, but while Cmdr Dark_heresy must have made it back to a UC office to claim the tags, said individual never reported this system to EDSM, the ELW survey on this forum, nor returned to map the planets.
