If it is 20 light years away you're seeing an event from 20 years ago. Ignore it.
New red-orange dot approaching the bubble at 0.8ly per minute-- Thargoid mothership?

Yes, you can see things moving 20+ ly away. That's how we detect exoplanets. What is your point?
Ah, this is why nobody gets an Anaconda at Hutton. Everyone is dead.
In this game we bend physics. It's the future.
Are we there yet? 
Better worry about a star going supernova then. It's wipe out the galaxy instantaneously.
No, it wouldn't. We see supernovas all the time. They are destructive, but not on a galactic scale.
NASA estimates that there's a supernova in the Milky Way Galaxy roughly once every 100 years.
It's the multiverse!
Considering how far away it is, it's amazing that I can hear it! Spooky sounds as always.
Now, flying towards it in SC at 2001c doesn't do much, so I'll try and park here, leave for a couple of hours, and see if that makes any difference when I return. Maybe we can triangulate it.

So what interests me most is not necessarily the noise itself, but the fact that sets a precedent for perhaps locating out-of-system things of interest, based on FSS background noise. Would be awesome if that became a more commonplace mechanic... would be the "breadcrumbs" exploration needs.
Here's a 4k image of the anomaly.
Game was running at 4k, I took an ultra high res screenshot (Alt-F10) resulting image was 8640p. I then used AI to upscale it to 32k (32000x18000). Then cropped the anomaly.
I don't take it particularly seriously though. I'm very much of the view that if FDev kbew exactly how all this stuff worked and could give us an accurate representation of how faster than light travel works, what on earth are they doing making video games and not doing work for ESA / NASA etc.
"Have you listened to it"
Seriously, I'm waiting for the next wave of too-detailed audio analysis with that FSS audio!
People really love that audio design - they can listen to it for hours"Have you listened to it"

I'm surprised nobody had discovered the sound in the FSS until only after the anomaly had been discovered in the Skybox. I can hear it on the Bubble pointing at Barnard's Loop in the FSS.

I was in some guy's twitch late last night and he ran me off for being negative...which I found hilarious. Anyhow...this "event" really has raised a few questions for me. I had previously assumed that "free space" didn't exist in the game's code. That the skybox was a frozen shot in time, a jpg wrapped around your instance so to speak, and that nothing else existed in real time for the player. This event seems to contradict that....it would appear that you can "see" this object move across the static skybox....which seems to mean that it exists in a unique space in the whole of the game, in that it can move through the space between systems. Which gives me hope that rogue planets, which I previously thought that the game could not handle, are out there...and as such, Raxxla.
I would refrain from upscaling as it adds detail which do not correspond to the original (false details).
Rather post the 8k image cropped but then the unknown space anomaly is original.
