Wait wut, is that a black hole orbiting a sun?
That's the most common way of finding them
Ah. I haven't stumbled upon any yet and haven't made the journey to Sag A since I opted to blaze my own trails. Thought they would be standalone, as some groups of planets seem to be, with the line that leads to an X.

Actually, the star and the black hole are orbiting each other.
That's where the planets are orbiting the centre of mass of a pair of stars (or more) rather than orbiting one of the stars directly, so they're not really on their own.
this is the most black holes ive seen in a single system. sadly there were at least 4 others before me.

Old and busted: a planet accompanied by a moon
New hotness: a planet accompanied by it's very own star
And that can be taken quite literally, just check out the temperatur of Tau Canis Majoris 4!

The time it took me to scan those....
WOW! Imagine what the sunsets are like there. Or maybe the sun(s) never set.
I have 2 systems to post first is a Black Hole extremely close to it's companion star

and secondly this
It's the only screenshot I have saved from it but the 2 black holes orbiting each other were 4-5Ls from each other with the third being about 20Ls from them.

They can be pretty scary - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=142682
I have seen quite a few close black holes, like only a few ls apart, so that is pretty common (as I've only been in 1700 systems so far). But a bit spooky, as I'm afraid of forgetting totally and going right through one and ending up behind some bookshelves

4 Neutrons, 3 Black Holes and a few pebbles thrown into the mix.

No point giving a screenshot of this one, just imagine two blue/white stars, quite big about 18,000ls apart, nothing else in the system.
The primary is a Wolf Rayet of 87 solar masses and 4.6 solar radii.
The secondary is also a Wolf Rayet, lighter but bigger at a mere 67 solar masses and 7.8 solar radii.
This is going to get messy, Wolf Rayets die not with a whimper but a bang and one of them will go supernova and the other being quite close will not survive the blast but will probably get blasted apart and then sucked in resulting in a really big black hole - probably - the life cycle of Wolf Rayets is still being debated and what happens with 2 in such proximity is certainly not known. Not to worry, these two are just babies at less than 1,000,000 years old so they shouldn't pop for a while.

That last planet..is a Water World!

Just came across this one. Orange Herbig Ae/Be spinning ball of doom with a load of T Tauri Stars orbiting. First planet is terraformable, and what creeps up between 2 TT Stars - a Water World.
Morning at the Water World when it's own TT Star rises ('scuse pic - still not that good at taking em):

1 moon per star, you know the rules...
wait... water giants can show up brown? I thought they only came in that blue and white flavor.
If you'll excuse me I need to go smash my head into the dashboard a few times.
