Exploration - When worlds colide
- Thread starter Ben Ryder
- Start date
I have to say being on the surface of one of those moons at the impact point would give me some issues....I have a funny almost vertigo type feeling just thinking about it [woah]
That's actually a brilliant idea! [up]
When worlds collide brings back good memories of the book I read many moons ago. I read the reprint as I was not alive in 1933.

Fantastic! Who says exploration needs a buff 
Thanks for teh rep chaps.
I just passed on the story.
You should see the stuff that the Utopian explorers find.
They are a quiest bunc but if you hang around https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteAntal/ and the discord channel you will meet some really chilled adventurers.

Is anyone in the neighbourhood of this system now, and able to check in on it? The two moons should be considerably closer to eachother than they were in my second screenshot (at https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...orlds-colide?p=5687630&viewfull=1#post5687630). The collision should be about 6 weeks away from now.
Will be reaching the system tomorrow and update you on that. Sad to see that it will only be very close in +6 weeks, I'd like to make my way to Sag A* and Beagle after I hit Colonia, though this seems very tempting.
How can I go about calculating this/is there a way to be certain when/if they will be very close again? Might do a few weeks round tour to get some pics like in the OP before heading to Beagle then.

See my post on page 2, that's how I calculated it.
see, this is how planets are born son
That's probably because they often are - a lot are within the larger moon's roche limit (plus, binary moons aren't stable in the first place).
Not sure... But I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Sorry, went into Blade Runner there! Let's try again...
I've seen round binary moons of similar sizes closer than their combined diameters... This - in my head - just feels wrong...
Weird... try posting it again? This post made it through.
I'm landed on the surface of Kyloasly DA-A f69 2 c right now.
The B moon reads 0.79ls away @ 03:48 in game time.
I'll check back tomorrow to see if it's any closer.
Update: This morning at 14:45 it's now at 0.78ls
Update: And now at 03:40 game time the next day it's at 0.76ls. ~0.03ls closer in ~24hrs
Update: @ 03:24 the following day it's now at 0.73ls. Consistent at 0.03ls per day
I'll stay parked here until the event and check in periodically. I'll play on my alt account until then.
Update: @02:02 on 25 Sept, the B moon is now 0.64ls away. Looking larger in the sky.

I had the gamma turned way up 'cause I couldn't see a thing here last night

In case anyone was wondering what I was wondering...
The patch did not appear to change the schedule.
B moon is now 0.61ls away from the C moon.
