Hillariously high orbital eccentricies

[Heavy Johnson]

Now you just have to wait for a month for some sweet sun proximity shots

A month?! The orbit is over 40k days!

Those images are tiny, blame my eyes Looked like 40 and some change. In that case just wait half a century, or somewhere in that ballpark.

I wonder if we'll have space legs by then /joke

This drove me to check for eccentric orbits us Elite Observatory, according that I have a body with an orbital eccentricity of 1.0, surely that would mean it just shoots off into the galaxy? Ahit seems anything over 0.99 counts as 1 for Elite Observatory, rounding I guess.

Sounds like I have to add a few decimal places to the output formatting for eccentricity!

edit: Well that was easy. Look for it in the next build!

Excellent and fast work! have one of these for me.

Highest orbital eccentricity I've found

I think this one could be a nice POI

Spoiler

Not too far from Sol and a bearable orbital period. It was on its way out when I arrived so I didn't get any shots, but it appears to get pretty close on the orrery.

I found another one within the last week, but it's still in the 0.98xxx range. I have yet to break into 0.99xxx.

I have a couple of low 0.99xx ones, and then one more eccentric:
