Exploration highlights of the day

1st highlight- my first neutron star - it was a smaller single blue star in binary with a large blue star. Explored the extensive system round the major star and almost skipped the second star because it was 150,000 ls away. But I'm in a completionist mood today so I went for it, suspected something was strange when I couldn't start scanning it within 1000 ls, knew something was weird when I had to get within 5ls to scan it. Closed to a distance of 0.66ls and could still barely see it against the background (other than it's gravity well) - wasn't getting any closer :)

2nd highlight was more of an oddity than a highlight. Large system with maybe 6 inner planets and 6 gas giants, gas giants all with several moons. As I mentioned above I'm in a completionist mood today so I scanned everything. The oddity was the very outer small moon of the very outer gas giant was a rocky / ice world that was suitable for terraforming - never seen that before, didn't know it was possible.

Screenshots will be provided along with locations for anybody who is interested - but only after I've got back and sold my data
