Really large landable planets: the list. (MK II)

I can confirm that the 25,202 km radius planet Raj Matheo found on Elite Galaxy Online is indeed real.
It's discovered by CMDR Eahlstan.
The gravity is at a cosy 4.64G. :D
I made three landing attempts but got disconnects in the orbital cruise zone all three times. Which is the last place in the world you want a disconnect as your ship goes into an uncontrollable high speed free fall when you reconnect. Yes, I used the nasty non-Horizon login to get back to safe distance... :D
Anyhoo, These are the closest images I got from it on this attempt. I'll make a new touchdown attempt tomorrow....

Good luck commander, enjoy the longest glide. Thanks for confirming that. Very close to it's host star as well will be a great view.

Greetings Commanders!

As you can tell this is the second version of the original thread. I recently found a huge landable planet and it got me thinking: What's the largest landable planet in the game? So I googled it. Upon searching I found the original thread. I looked through the list and found that while mine wasn't the largest, I was able to take a spot in the top 50! So I took my screenshots and posted to the thread. About a week later I came back and saw that not only had other people posted to the thread, but the OP wasn't getting updated. I looked at the edit date and the thread hadn't been updated since June 2016! I then contacted the OP to ask if I could take over. He told me he wasn't very active nowadays and that he'd be happy if I'd take over. A few PM's later and here we are!

So with that said, I wanted to thank the OP for giving me this oppurtunity as well as give him all credit for coming up with the idea to start this thread in the first place. I am simply taking over to help keep the list updated moving forward.

The list has been fully updated to include the posts from the previous thread that were never added to the original top 50.

If you do not add your in-game CMDR name to your post I will add your forum name to the discovery. If you are the original poster of any of these planets and your CMDR name is misspelled or incorrect, simply reply to this thread or send me a PM with the CMDR name you'd like me to add and as long as your forum name matches the forum name of the original poster, I will update the list to show your CMDR name next to your discovery.

Thanks for looking!

Got one that looks like it should clock in around #40 or so...

It's a beautiful kind of orange sherbet swirl looking planet that I was really excited to find until I saw this list and TotalyNotCow's spectacularly ringed, 21K diameter strawberry version a few posts up that I am neither extremely bitter nor jealous over. ;)

Well this is about my third try for a place on the list, each time I post so many other large bodies get posted mine gets pushed off before it even has a chance;

I've a planet here which should just about make it on to your list, temporarily at least. I thought I had one the other day, but I went back and checked and it's a few hundred km too small.

But this one fits in the list, right now anyhow.

And I'm Cmdr Rollo Treadway in game. Not sure why I have a space there and not here. Oh well.

Also, rather odd system I found it in - the two main stars are about 2Ls apart, the planet is 40Ls out, and there's a third star at just 700Ls. And nothing else.

Ring.

Other than ring planet was unremarkable.

Good thing I have exploration shields.
