Planets have suddenly disappeared from my colonisation system map!!!

Has anyone experienced this ? not sure if it's all messed up now but I was in the process of getting materials for my system and it had been going well for the last few days. I only have a few items left before I take my FC back to the system to do the final unloading. Every now and then, I have a look at my system through the system map and to my shock/surprise, my system is showing less planets/stars than there were previously!!!

Have they disappeared for good? - is this a known bug? I'm hoping its just a glitch as everything has been fine until about an hour ago. I have previous screenshots of when the planets/stars were there and I have the comparison now which is literally 1 star and a single planet. Really hope all the time I've spent gathering materials (about 80% now) hasn't been a waste only for the system to glitch and wipe all the planets in the system otherwise this will be a serious problem going forward for others.

Grateful for thoughts all, have you seen this before?

More likely to be a glitch with what the game thinks you have discovered, ie use the FSS and the planets will still be there, just appearing as if undiscovered.

That frustrating, but it’s likely just a glitch. I’ve heard of similar issues happening, and they usually resolve themselves after restarting or an update. Hopefully, your hard work won’t be wasted, and everything will show up correctly soon. Keep those screenshots as proof, and stay optimistic—it’s probably just a temporary issue

It's a display glitch (and one that's been around in various forms for years, but because the symptoms are so disconnected from the cause, it's one which never survives the Issue Tracker filtering)

Best guess is that it's some interaction between
- your actual scan data
- the "common" scan data (i.e. you know about the existence but not properties of planets if someone else has scanned them first)
- losing unsold scan data on death
- (and possibly new with colonisation!) the way that system habitation levels affect the default level of exploration data presented

As others have said, re-FSSing the system yourself (then selling that data to UC, to make sure) should fix it when it happens
