Horizons Planet showcase - post your most beautiful shots that you are really proud of

Found myself back at Skardee today while looking for an Interstellar Factor. Only one thing to do while I'm here ..

Owww, hot hot hot ...

Impressive ! 😓
 
First ever screenshot I took in Elite. 7th of May, 2015. Perfectly encapsulates the sense of awe, wonder, and adventure waiting ahead that I had when I was starting to play this game. From time to time I look through my first screenshots and they bring the feeling back. Making me return to the game again and again. Screenshot itself is nothing special to anybody, but me. Reminder of a great moment, having great time with one of my hobbies :) I know it's not from Horizons. It wasn't even out then yet. It's a planet though :D

Im sorry if this is a bit off topic, as there are no planets, but I have just been to The Devil's Dancefloor and this system is too amazing, not to post the pictures....
The main star is a 10 SM BH.
141856

That is a binary, with this Neutron Star
141857

Then 2 more Neutron stars orbit each other
141858

And close up...
141859

And here, 3 of the 4 neutron stars can be seen warping through the BH....Incredible!
141860
 
Where are the planet pics?
Yeah, if you read my original post, I did apologise for slightly off topic, but I didn't think anybody would mind me sharing the best set of pics I've ever shared on this thread. You didn't complain about somebody sharing a screenshot of the galaxy map, above :p
I'll delete the post if you want, but it's a shame?

Nah, those are stunning pics, and the complaint goes to anyone who didn't post a planet pic in this particular thread for pics of planets.
But there's a sticky screenies thread right besides this one, and a few suitable ones in the Exploration subforum too. ;)

Yeah. Fair enough. I just specifically wanted to share it with the people on this thread, to be honest. Everyone on here posts incredible stuff, and I was just a little proud of this particular set and thought some of you might appreciate it, even if it is slightly off topic

I imagine there is a lot of overlap between the set of people who browse the general screenshot thread and the set of those who browse this thread.
 
So, I usually don't post screenshots, but since I am on my way to the heart and soul nebula, and then to the rift I figured I might.
Screenshot #1: Planet right outside of the Witch Head Nebula Science Center.
Screenshot#2: A planet in the GCRV 2234 system.
Screeshot#3: An ice planet in the veil west nebula.

Enjoy!
