Rare sighting?

In my experience of exploration, that is fairly rare, but there are rarer things in the galaxy 
Nice pic by the way

Cheers, I'm not a hardcore explorer by any means so this was a wow moment for me haha, just explore a bit if I feel like it, usually just go back to combat.
Yeah I thought as much, reading the cartography records there's some amazing stuff out there. Well still, it was a nice sight!
They're nice until you enter a system right next to one and wonder why you are instantly fuel scooping.
Just be wary that this can happen for all types of stellar bodies, neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs included...
There will also be times where you enter the system "through" the second star, which we all call a "brown pants" moment...
My worst was entering a 0.1d orbital binary where the main was an O class and the secondary was a herbig ae/be that was thrown right in my face due to the close proximity. I narrowly escaped death!

Producing your own brown dwarf so to speak
A witty observation if I do say so myself.

The real fun with those binaries is when the route of your exit from hyperspace takes you through the smaller one as you approach the biggun. If they are a fair way apart it will just give you a huge shock and a rush of adrenaline. If they are too close together, you will arrive overheating with Verity screaming at you, and have to take immediate action.
Sorry to be so misinformed, but I can't find any videos on youtube, what exactly are these binary systems?
EDIT: Nevermind, just overlooked one, oops.

POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE - WISH YOU WERE HERE INSTEAD OF ME - Post# 2
Dear Commanders I have recently returned home from a two week long exploration journey to the Seagull Nebulae,
it has been quite a hassle, but it was well worth the effort. I didn´t make too many credits from the journey, but I did
actually discover a massive BLACK HOLE that almost crushed my ASP in the process. Luckily I had an Auto Repair unit
installed, so I was able to repair vital onboard units.
I had to make the journey all the way back approximately 1000+ sols or more with a few cracks in my cockpit.
By the way, the Black Hole I discovered is located not far from the Seagull Nebulae, unfortunately I forgot to make
a note of the system, but the Black Hole itself is named: HD 52159 C.
Be Safe Commanders,
