My First Expedition (R Arae) and its weird conclusion.

I started from the borderlands and thereby had an angle that allowed me to find some uncharted sun and especially some leftover distant planets. Aside of minor findings like life in gas giants or twin planets - both with a radius of 500km - the real strange occurence did happen in R Arae itself.

The 10th 'planet' of R Arae is actually a dwarf sun, not only is it a sun with a stable orbit around the white B class giant R Arae, it also has a ring, moons and moons for its moons. The weirdest sun I ever saw... and maybe will see.

So the big star did not only have a much smaller star orbiting it, that smaller star had a little star system of its own!... :D Cool find.
You'll see that kind of thing every now and then if you travel the vastness of the galaxy. The Crowning Achievement would be to find an earthlike around such a miniature star system orbiting the main star like a planet. :)
