Maybe a Nuetron star or maybe you found a star going supanova

I don't know, what does the info screen tell you it is?

It's probably a blue supergiant with a large blue-white friend. Not too dangerous to jump into.

Not only is a super giant and bright blue star, it is also accompanied by a Herbig object (that other star that's showing in the description). You should definitely check it out! Those are young and very rare stars!! I could easily travel 2k ly just to get to that system.

Sorry, someone had to

Looks like a planetary nebula to me.

AEBE2 VI is a Herbig Ae/Be star. They're awesome, go check it out!

Sadly while the systems look awesome in the galaxy map the view once in the system is pretty unimpressive usually with the O#III stars appearing at a range of ~200Ls and other star appearing fairly close-by.
It seems like the size specifications (Hypergiant, supergiant, giant etc) break down when trying to describe O-type stars or special stars (C, S, WR)-type.

Thanks all for the replies.

I will make this my first destination for my maiden Exploration voyage which I plan on starting either later this evening or tomorrow. Just need to finish of a small rares circuit before heading home to make the purchase of my ASP and fit it out.

Regards
