Monstrous Beauty

[MattG]

So on my last expedition, I found this beauty.

As rocky worlds go, she's definitely more interesting than average. But don't let her looks trick you, she is truly a monster.

Over 50Gs, and over 2.5 BILLION atmospheres. Oh, and in a system with at least 11 stars, she's the second hottest object in the system - marginally beaten by the class O sibling of the Herbig primary, who reigned in at just over 49,000 K.


A cursory check suggests she might break some records. But more importantly - when do I get to try landing here?

I'm thinking this has to be a candidate for a chthonian planet, unless anyone has another idea?

It's a beautiful purple planet... Love it! Thank you so much for sharing this!

 

[marx]

Gotta love this one. There's even iron in the atmosphere! With a partial pressure of almost 38 million atm.

But more importantly - when do I get to try landing here?

Hm, if you'll excuse me, now I have to look into KSP modding...

 

[Hooter]

Epic!

My exploration skills would've passed right over that info. This is true inspiration to look a bit closer at what one is looking at.

For an instant pancake?

 

[GunnerBill]

It should be named ‘Europa’.

It's Eve on steroids. There has to be a way to mod Eve to be huge and more deadly.

Holy--- I gotta see this with my own eyes.

Dumboe, an elephant of a planet

Seriously, nice find!

Landing there might be possible when FD allows it (landing in 50g is peanuts ), but taking off in the puddle of molten metals that was once your ship might be somewhat of a problem.

I'm thinking this has to be a candidate for a chthonian planet, unless anyone has another idea?

If there ever was such a candidate in the ED universe, then this definitely is it.

I am lost for words - gargantuan find, CMDR +rep!

50 G... it is a shame it is not landable

 

[thundernuns]

Holy moly...I wish crazy planets weren't as rare as this. I mean I've NEVER seen a rocky that heavy(ie 50+), even from other people

 

[Roly]

+ rep and kudos for an awesome find [yesnod]

 

[Straha Yeagar]

Meh...no Asp in front of it.

Looks like you broke the record for heaviest. Do you sync to EDDN?

 

[MattG]

Do you sync to EDDN?

I hadn't previously before today, but it should be there now.

 

[Roqinn]

Holy cow! A planet that isn't beige AND has amazing stats?? Awesome find!

 

[duckofdeath]

That is definitely a rocky world record breaker, well up amongst the top high gravity planets in any category. One wonders if that kind of pressure and heat on a rocky world would even be possible?
