Journey to the known unbeknownst records of the galaxy

[schlowi123]

Finally, an entry for "Operation MOSTLY HARMLESS" .

Here …

… am I standing on my lovely Kaliadne which herself is standing on Oodgolks BL-X b56-0 B 2.

You may wonder why I'm here and the answer is, that this celestial body is a triple (!) record holder. All these records are due to its rotational period of 2479320.41690606 days (which means one of its days is approx. 8442 of its years long). Of all Icy Bodies is this the longest … and since one can land on it, the 2nd record follows automatically since there is no non-landable Icy Body that rotates slower around its axis.

Now the third record is due to the fact that of ALL landable (!) planets that were so far discovered in the galaxy, none is rotating slower.

Now comes the bummer: I did (again!) NOT get First Footfall! And the curious thing is, that this planet has a distance to arrival of almost 400k ls! In addition does it NOT have any life on it … and there are plenty other landable planets in the system that are not even scanned! Including one that potentially could have life on it.
This feels personal. As if somebody wanted to specifically snatch this experience from me!

DAMN YOU KIRKPICARD!

The next record holder is the T (Brown dwarf) Star with the highest distance to arrival. A whole 893027.0 ls … which is not that far actually. Anyway, here it is -- Sphauloe IR-B b2-1 F:

On to Eos Brou HW-N e6-37 24 …

… the (non-landable) High metal content world with the longest orbital period of 116,814,624.7 days (which are 146,018,281 of its days).

To my surprise is one of the few times when this record is NOT accompanied by the biggest orbital circumference record. Good that I distinguished this from the beginning (even though they often belong to one and the same body).

The final entry for today is the whole Hypaa Byio KC-V d2-1 system:

It is actually not a record holder … well, at least not a unique one. I'm here though because I wanted to check for any shenanigans that might be going on here since this is just one of two systems that contain six Gas giants with ammonia-based life. The other one (this time I didn't delete it) Prua Phoe VA-D d13-66, which I won't visit.
I can report: no shenanigans are going on. The ammonia-based life forms are keeping it calm.

This entry is in a way not just outside of "Operation MOSTLY HARMLESS" but also outside the concept of the whole project. The former does not need any explanation. The latter is due to the fact that the systems that contain the most of an celestial body subcategory are registered on EDSM and I usually don't visit elsewhere registered records (diligently ignoring EDAstro because I might be out of a job if I would look at that and at the time when I started this project it didn't exist).

This here …

… is Byooe Aod TT-I d9-26 B 5, the Gas giant with ammonia-based life with a rotational period of 402450.703474217 days (which means approx. every hundred of its years it gets one day older … seems silly, doesn't it.)

The Class IV gas giant with the highest orbital eccentricity of 0.998641 is Bloo Prao IV-Y d1 A 1:

 

[schlowi123]

And the last for today is once again NOT a record. But the semi major axis of Blooe Prao HP-W b35-1 AB 1 has a value (without units) of 2.99792456465759 which deviates from the velocity of light in vacuum by a measly 1.5342410009111518e-08.

Here I'm standing on one of its moons, looking up to it:

Albeit, there are two other celestial bodies in the galaxy that have a value for one of their characteristics (in both cases it is also the semi major axis) that come this close to the value of "c", too: Greou Eaescs DZ-Y c1-0 B 6 and Hegeia QR-Z b28-1 3. For the latter I can't find an entry on EDSM … maybe I should have visited this one instead, just to update it. Anyways, somebody else can do that.

You might be interested in this planet, if you haven't been there already. I think it's the landable (and atmosphered!) planet with highest surface temperature.

Or at least highest reported by the system map (and your helmet's HUD). For a strange reason the surface temperature gets logged as 1700K in the journal files. I don't know which one is supposed to be "correct". Anyway, system map glitch or not, has to be some kind of record nevertheless.

And it's just a small hop from the Bubble.
