Next collision in ~2 weeks. Bump for interest. I'm on expedition so won't be able to attend this one.

How far from Sol is this? If it will be colliding soon and I have time I would like to be there.
It's about 1200LY past Colonia. So roughly 23,000LY from Sol.
It's in the Colonia area about 23,334.89 ly from Sol.

It's a ways out from the bubble, but damn it's worth it!
Hmm, I am heading Colonia-bound from Beagle Point and am now approximately 17000 lys from Colonia. If the next orbital brush is the 24th February, I should be able to make that. That will be too good to miss giving the timing!
It's possible. They changed He Bo 2A/2B to no longer intersect within the rings of He Bo 2. I can understand the reasoning behind that. Trying to approach the planets from within the rings would cause the client to crash.
I'm on expedition as well, though on the oppisite side of the galaxy. I'm more or less wandering aimlessly after fullfilling one of my primary objectives of finding my first active volcanisim in an undiscovered system 5 minutes into the first try (luck!) , so perhaps this would give me a good new objective!
Thanks for the reminder, I would have forgotten about this - I thought it was going to be sometime in April. I'm currently 33kLy in the direction of Beagle Point heading back towards Colonia (sort of), so I might be able to get there...
From my present location, it is 15k ly to across Sag A to get to the system and the route planner just plotted a route that will average just under 120ly per jump, so I should be able to get there in time with no issue. Hopefully my work schedule will line up with the time of the event!
Does anyone have a rough idea on the time frame for the event on the 24th?

Shame... I'm in the area but will be on holidays so I guess I'm going to miss this...
I hope there'll be some vids and pics from you guys!

Plenty of vids and pics from the last collision in this thread.
If you can't make it, it will come around again in another 133 days. (unless FD fixes it)

Yeah, but those will need to be updated with the new planets
Oh Yeah. Hopefully the patch will come before the collision, and hopefully it won't affect the collision timing.Yeah, but those will need to be updated with the new planets
Just completed my detour from the eastern side of the core to Colonia to make the next event, and will be heading out to the impact site tonight.
3.0 is coming 27/2...
So who knows, maybe last chance to experience one of the odd wonders of our galaxy
I'm hoping to be there for this one.
