Would be interesting to hear an astrophysicist's take on whether a planet could harbor life when it's orbiting or in the same system as a neutron star.
ELW bucket list
- Thread starter marx
- Start date
The game doesn't seem to check for that for Earth-likes, which is why ELWs on highly elliptical orbits that take them far from their host star(s) are possible. In real life, it wouldn't be, they'd freeze at aphelion and burn at perihelion.
I'm not an astrophysicist, but if (and this is a pretty big if) the planet has a magnetic field strong enough to shield it, then why not?
That is, besides that whole pesky matter of how neutron stars come to be in the first place.
Yeah, at the very least they wouldn't have a breathable atmosphere (as often claimed in the description of ELWs.)
I suppose that as long as there are water oceans and they don't freeze all the way to the bottom, some form of life could be theoretically possible, as long as some energy is available.
Would probably not be oxygen-breathing life (which is fine; IIRC current understanding is that life on Earth wasn't initially oxygen-breathing either, that came much later, and almost destroyed all life before a few species could adapt.)
How rare would that be, a ringed White Dwarf of the DCV type with an Earth-like and an Ammonia World as a Moon orbiting a Black Hole? 
I will add the address and a few more pictures to this post in a few days.

It was a super A³H boxel, I found five ringed Red Dwarfs, and one ringed Neutron Star, White Dwarf and K-Star each, and a Codex first entry for Frutexa Collum - Teal
I'm particularly happy about the ringed K star, which was my first.
The system address is Byoomi AA-A h359

Wonderful find- is it an AA-A system?
Yes that's it, the finds I've made so far in this boxel are beyond anything I expected.
It's a fly-through area, I actually expected the boxel to be completely discovered, but no, almost half of the systems are undiscovered.
And when a system was discovered, it was always a different commander.
So far I've found in this boxel three ringed Red Dwarfs, a Neutron Star with a ring and my very first K-Star with a ring.
And then today this White Dwarf

so, I've updated the post 
Last month I came across this Earth-like.
It ‘rolls’ along its orbital plane in a similar way to Uranus.
I noticed immediately, because I approached it directly from the Star, and one of its icy poles was pointing at the Star.

from the Moon

Good F***ing Luck with These, because at best only a handful have been found (<0.025%):
I was recently about to fly a helium-rich boxle, there was also an L-type starsystem and then I was extremely surprised about this message from one of my tools:
New personal record: Smallest distance from the entry point of an earth-like planet: 11.2830 LS
And then it wasn't just one!
I will submit the system map later when the servers are up and running again.
For now, here is the star and the first three planets from my tool.
Update, as I just noted on EDAstro, this would be the very first finding of more than one Earth-like around an L-type star
- system main star type: L

Dude, that is a crazy find! And after the other discoveries you've shared.
You should share it on the brown dwarf & fact finding mission thread. - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/brown-dwarf-tour-fact-finding-mission.532289/post-10410084

Yes, I'll do that later, and now I won't be able to avoid
making my first GEC entry.And here is the confirmation
My finest hour. I'm presently on a sub1kly ELW hunt. This makes me want to get out much further.
