But the odds of it being found in Distant Worlds are pretty good!
I seem to find a lot of these around the Conflux
I posted one here as it's ringed and the gas giant is very close leading to a spectacular view, but i found also 2 others recently by going to WP4 through my usual zigzag pattern..
By the way: One of the ways I personally find interesting things is to start looking at the Galmap for unusual features. This works with named systems, but usually closer to the bubble. Then you check EDSM to see if anyone's been there.
It's not guaranteed, but I've found a lot of interesting things that way.

These are surprisingly rare. If you find any, please do submit.
No problem, and I've updated the list a little. Also, you can get some ideas by looking at the existing Points of Interest: https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#2/0/0/25000
Not super rare, but rare enough to me, that I found this interesting last night. Only 4 bodies, with a sole neutron star, but also an ELW. I don't usually find ELWs with neutron stars unless it's around a secondary star.
Probably not suitable as an actual submission, but I thought I'd share.

An ELW around a NEUTRON star would qualify as a major discovery to me. Good find! Make sure you get that first discovered tag ASAP.
Walk - Don't Walk
Name: Walk - Don't Walk
Game map search ref: PRU AESCS RW-N C6-15 2
Description: A red, ringed class IV gas giant. I don't know if it's common but when positioning this planet between yourself and the K-class star, it appears to shift to a green colouration, mimicking a pedestrian traffic light.
The 6th planet in the system is a water giant, too. The system is only 390 LY from the Conflux Delta Site.

Data was already sold before I posted it.
I mapped the ELW but the other two are free to be mapped, otherwise it's all tagged.
These *are* quite rare, and I think our team would discuss the merits of each to see if it is otherwise unique enough.
For reference, one that certainly qualified was "Erik's World": A Neutron star w/ ringed ELW, also with a black hole. That was likely my best find ever.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but AeBe Herbigs are quite common.
Also, please do not just submit screen shots. A proper submission needs:
1) A name for your submission
2) A system name or nearest system
3) A description of why you think it's interesting

It looks as if before 3.3 this planet could potentially be one of the GMGs, for the ones I've seen after graphics changes looked very similar. Though GMGs en mass used to be Class V, not Class IV.

For submitters, I'd like to point to this post as a perfect example of the kind of submissions we are looking for. Particularly note the detailed and interested description. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Submissions?p=7395395&viewfull=1#post7395395
I have found a couple of these earlier. I'll look through my archives when I get home from work and see if I can dig up the locations, and take screenshots of the system views.

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty awesomely rare find, with rings and black hole!
I could certainly make a full submission for mine. I just wasn't sure it was truly interesting enough since it only has that one notable feature, and as far as I can tell there's about 1600 (*) of these in the EDSM data. (one of the dangers of maintaining a local copy of the entire database is that it quickly deflates you after thinking you've found something unique).
* EDIT: 1600+ where an ELW is in a system with a solitary neutron star, such that the NS shares the name of the system (no appended 'A', no secondary main stars, etc).

Here's one ELW around a neutron star I found back in 2015.
1: Name possibility: Deuteros (after deuterium, also known as heavy water, used in ancient high-radiation reactors)
2: System name: Slulee YM-H D11-47
3: Description: Earth-like world around a neutron star, 1 terraformable waterworld moon, 2 terraformable HMCs. Distance is 10,291.97 LY from Sol. Also a L-class secondary star. While ELWs around neutron stars are rare, they aren't completely unheard of. This system has a high number of terraformable planets for a neutron star system, including a waterworld. The sharp glare from the neutron star casts everything in stark relief and the radiation output must be capable of creating a significant amount of mutation for any life found on the waterworld or the Earth-like world.
