Post your weird systems!

Well, this may not be the weirdest system out there, but it had me a little surprised when I jumped in.
T Tauris. All of them. There's roughly 100,000ls between the two groups of stars.
Of course, I can't really go without mentioning HIP 63835, but I think that's been posted once or twice earlier in the thread.

I'm feeling quite smug at finding 4 TC planets out of 4 orbiting a secondary star. I'll post a pic when I get back - nice earner that system 
I stumbled yesterday upon an ammonia world without atmosphere.
And not just simply an ammonia world, but a really weird looking one – with lifeforms.

Ok guys, this one isn't going to have screenshots for one simple reason - you have no excuse to not go there yourself as it's only 2 jumps from Sol.
Go to BD+08 1303, I guarantee you will be extremely pleasantly surprised and 99% of you will never have seen anything like the entry star. Then, go to your Navigation menu and scroll down till you get to the nearby systems, and look at how close the closest one is.
Please report your findings and thank me.
I'll put up a video of it soon, but I want you guys to see it first

Water oceans and waterworld temperature, but an ammonia-nitrogen atmosphere.A recently-abandoned (or not?) Thargoid terraforming project, perhaps.
The system has a much more conventional water world orbiting a secondary star.

check CL PISMIS 13 and CL PISMIS 19 most planets are further from their star then these two are apart lol

In Col 228 Sector I came across a peculiar Water World and every time when I find a 'weird' system or planet I wonder how it might look on its surface and how one could possibly live here. Best see for yourselves:
The planet has no atmosphere, yet vast amounts of ice in and on it. Orbiting a Brown Dwarf, which barely emitts any light or energy, it 'only' has a -30 degrees Celsius surface temp however. Yet, being tidally locked towards its 'star' definitely makes for an interesting place to develop a water-based chemistry, not to mention a carbon-water-based form of life.
I am not a Geologist, Chemist or something but I am wondering why this planet is not an Ice World? And just how might life have evolved here on this planet?
Any thoughts on this?
Fly safe!

There's presumably enough heat from either tidal forces or geological processes to keep a liquid ocean, probably below the surface which at that temperature in vacuum will be ice.
If there's geology happening (or even geology has happened in the past) then the conditions to get bacterial life going would likely have existed and it would have started in probably the same way as it did here with the water providing the hydrogen and the geology providing the CO2 and the energy to get reactions going and start building complex carbon and thence to life.
It's probably all bacteria or similar though.

Hmm..
Thoughts on the strange water world ? Yes I have one.
Just running the numbers (and correct me if I'm wrong)
At 2.8 times the Radius of Earth it has 22 times the volume.
As mass is proportional to volume, it should have 22 times the mass.
but as mass is also proportional to density, this planet must have half the density of the Earth.
Metal and Rock is denser than water, so this planet is mostly water (Duh, water world.)
Maybe with a small tidally locked very hot radioactive metal core. (if such a thing exists)
The relatively high surface temp comes from convection of heat from the core.
It gained Life carried on comets that accreted and melted on the surface, and probably keep coming.
Conditions good enough for it to keep ticking over in the ocean near the core, where it can be detected by the scanner.
Don't know if any of that's right, I just made it all up.

I liked my hot WW, with 75C surface temperature. It was terraformable too

Is that an Earth world there with the ammonia world? I think that's something we've all been looking for for a while...
This one has made my list, going to come back and get a great timelapse of this. Probably the closest stars I've seen. Sorry for the Oculus screenshot

Take a look at the main sun in R CORONAE AUSTRINI -- it is spinning like a top!!
I just accidentally jumped through that system and thought something was bugged it was spinning so fast!

Ok, this is weird that both of you just discovered this

Are ... they ... toying ... with the systems? Are we getting more stuff added? Am I making ..... too many assumptions?
Sadly Ziggy, I suspect you're making too many assumptions. At no point (to my knowledge) since the games release has anyone from FD said anything about updating the stellar forge.
I fear we are stuck with what we have. Is a comet or two really too much to ask?
<sigh>

Spinning stars have been around, afaik. My first visit to a proto star showed it spinning at an incredible speed and that was about 2.5 months ago.
But it's weird that there are two reports of the same system within the bubble at the same day.
I have seen the AE/BE which are spinning.
Well Ziljan's post does mention that Surly reported it and Ziljan just happened to follow up with the video. Idunno. 80ly from Sol I'm sure it's been seen hundreds of times. Coincidence, perhaps, unless someone says otherwise or has proof that it has recently changed.
Ah, so I'm just being daft. He even told me.
Move along, nothing to see here.
