Earth-Like Planet inside a Planetary Nebula in the Center of The Galaxy

System is: EOK BLOU QI-T E3-48



So the number of planetary nebula in the galaxy is as we know, quite limited in comparison to...well basically everything else.

So imagine my surprise when I stumbled across an undiscovered planetary nebula that also had an earth-like planet...chances seem quite low and google has not found me anyone else who has found something similar.

I've found plenty of earth likes in nebula but they often have hundreds if not thousands of systems in them. A planetary nebula is just one system.

Best discovery I've made in my many hours spent exploring and anyone who knows me, knows that I have explored a lot lol

I would have thought this world be snow ball.
The dust medium from the nebula should diffuse the light from the local star, bringing down global temperatures.

I've seen a water world orbiting a ringed L class star that had 5 black holes in the system as well. Stellar forge does some strange things.

To be fair the game engine lacks many phenomena we see in the real world, stellar forge does what it can.

Love to move there.

Most likely not. Planetary nebulae have an density of 100-10,000 particles per cubic metre - not even remotely enough to diffuse light at such short distances. Your average nebula would be nearly indistinguishable if you were inside of it; more like a faint discoloring of the space around you.

Now I'm no physicist, but even if it was a particularly young nebula (up to 2.5×10⁶ particles per cm3 according to Wikipedia), that is still several orders of magnitude thinner than Earth's atmosphere. I don't think that would have a terribly obscuring affect on a star's radiation.

If anything, if the star and planet were both in the nebula, the gasses would have an insulating affect and warm the planet even more.

One day...we will hopefully!

I don't know who to believe lol

Very nice! And very rare indeed. I am on a nebulae hunt atm so can appreciate how rare it is.

On other hand, even Google is not well informed sometimes

Nice find, and possibly a rare one too.

Please consider naming it and submitting it to the Galactic Mapping Project

Excellent find and thanks for posting the photo too! Best recent Earth Likes I've found were two in neighbouring systems just 1.9 ly apart and 3.3 Kylies from the core.

 

[JohnCarter]

I would never have thought it possible.. Have some rep.
By the way are there any lights that can be seen on the dark side?

 

[marx]

Yep, very rare indeed. On the ELW list (see my sig for the link), there were only four other systems so far, out of nearly ten thousand. Even more nice to see that there are still undiscovered planetary nebulae. Congrats on your find!

Yep, very rare indeed. On the ELW list (see my sig for the link), there were only three others so far, out of nearly ten thousand. Even more nice to see that there are still undiscovered planetary nebulae. Congrats on your find!

You're missing two of mine in the same nebula, both in SCHEE BLI JX-T E3-4747. The system is in the ELW list, but there is no note they are in a planetary nebula.

Grats to the OP, nice ELW.

Oh, you didn't mention that they were inside a nebula before, so I didn't know. Thanks! Added that note to them then.

A great find CMDR!

So we have less then a handful of finds total o.o

We SERIOUSLY need to have our own elite explorers club only for ppl who have found something like this =D

I've discovered around a dozen+ so far this trip. Though the dozens of others I visited were all found previously by others.

I have traveled 300000Ly but never found a planetary nebula. Wasn't specifically looking for them. So how do you find them? Just by scrolling through the Galaxymap or is there some secret I missed?

I spent hours before I set off bookmarking planetary nebula and I spent just as much on the way there and while in the core bookmarking even more.

The "secret" is to turn of all filters for stars and take a look around.

 

[Orvidius]

Yeah, visually with all stars turned off, is the way to find the planetary nebulae. They're pretty darn sparse, though there are quite a few of them out in the Colonia region. That's where I managed to find an undiscovered one. I found a clump of them about 3kly northeast of Colonia, and all were discovered, except one. Somehow it had been overlooked. So it's mine now. No ELW though. They're so scarce in general, I was just happy to be able to tag one at all.
