Neutron star with rings

[HEIFEHEN]

Okay, so I've never seen one, didn't even know you can find one with rings, but for what it is, I think it's my best discovery yet!
Neutron stars are so small though, and I think it's a part of their charm, honestly. Being so small and so dangerous, there's always something alluring about them. You just want to get close but you can't, not without being fried with radiation.

Anyway, if they're changing Neutron stars in 2.2 I'm really excited to see how this will look after an update.

Here it is, seen from afar

Spoiler

Getting closer, those rings are really dark. Neutron star and a black hole are the biggest stellar objects in this system, so there's almost no light.

Spoiler

It's right there, you can see the small light and gravitational lensing! Oh I just wish I could get closer, but I can't [sad]

Spoiler

And when I turn around, I'm greeted with an amazing looking layer of space dust that just touches the ring (also you can see the black hole there as well! What an amazing system this is)

Spoiler

I took a bit more screenshots, here's full imgur album of it in case someone wants to see another ones:

I bet those rocks go really, really fast to maintain stable orbit....

lol, good point. Though, in-game they move not faster than normal rocks from a Jovian's belt. I imagine it would impossible to drop into them, in that case.

Wow! Fantastic find, Commander! I've seen a lot of Neutron Stars, but never one with rings! I didn't even think that was possible because of the intense gravity and radiation!

 

[blmcquig]

In all the hundreds and hundreds of neutron stars I've seen, I've not seen anything like this!
Amazing find, CMDR!!!

Sorry to have to break it to you, but that https://i.imgur.com/ZrbapGy.png is not amazing space dust touching the ring. It is just rest of the galaxy, thousands of LY away, and the ring's reflection thereof.

Well, I didn't mean that it touches it literally, it's just seen from the ring and makes that effect There's no physical way rings could do that
Also, I don't think it's a reflection, it's just seen between a think layer of rocks.

Great find, and pretty rare I think!

When you've tagged your discovery, please give it a name and submit it to the mapping project. That's a POI that should definitely be marked on the maps.

Lovely find. Especially how dark it is.

Here's a ringed neutron I snapped in HD 78344...

...and the same one again - really irritated I didn't remove the orbit lines before getting this pic:

Please tell me this is a bug and Frontier do NOT think Neutron stars have matter rings.

I don't think it's a reflection, it's just seen between a think layer of rocks.

Got me there! Yes, it is just transmission. So... not involving the dust at all!

WOW! You just made the hall of fame. That's definitely a first! Congrats CMDR! Nice find

Wow, that looks absolutely stunning! I like how a single light source can make such a huge difference.

It was amazing to see. Only wish I'd beaten CMDR Idle Sniper - whoever they were - to it

 

[Pirin]

Ermmm... it is an amazing find indeed. But not the first. I found a couple of these on my way to Jaques. All of them were already tagged by other commanders. Most likely those cmdrs just didnt report their findings on the forum.

 

[drkaii]

Then this is still a first in public, which is all too important. Go back there when 2.2 drops!

 

[Whitmann]

I didn't bother mentioning the ringed neutron I took pics of on July 27th because it had already been tagged and I assumed, therefore, it wouldn't be any kind of first. Not to piddle on Heifehen's bonfire but imho some credit should go to CMDR Idle Sniper for his discovery in HD 78344, as well as credit for Heifehen's first discovered.

 

[HEIFEHEN]

Yeah, I think I'll conceal the location until I sell my data at Jaques after I'm back from Sag A*, though that can be a while. Really want my name on this one.

Lol, yeah, I've two black holes to be added to the Galactic Mapping Project that I'm not going to mention just yet, too

:x

 

[HEIFEHEN]

This place is truly magnificent with the new update.

Spoiler

Going to make a video with pre and post patch comparison later today if possible. Can't wait to turn this in and share the coordinates.

 

[HEIFEHEN]

Unfortunately, the video didn't come out as I wanted it so I scrapped it altogether.
However, I turned my exploration data today and happy to share the location of this system - KYLOARPH AA-A H3
