What? The moon? The coloring?
Or the three gas giants orbiting a gas giant? I don't think I've ever seen that before. Nice find.
Show us your interesting discoveries!

Yes, 3 gas giants orbiting a gas giant, i should've mentioned what I thought was rare
There's a few gas giant with gas giant moon discoveries in this thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/368456-Gas-Giant-with-Four-Gas-Giant-Moons
Deleted so many good bookmarks over the last few years. Wish I still had all these still.
Black Hole in very close proximity to Neutron Star. Not something I'd seen prioe to this but have since.
Neutron and White Dwarf almost touching streams. Never seen a pair this close since.
Neutron Star pretty much clipping the edge of its companion.
Triple Neutron.

An ELW orbiting L star in a White Dwarf system.Was dancing on the ceiling for a few days after this find [big grin]

Thanks lads for the spoiler hint-I had no idea how to do it too

I checked the list, but I can't find an ELW orbiting a T dwarf. Only 2 ELWs co-orbiting a T dwarf and another star. So this ELW found by xtnsgo would be the first one in the list! The closest I came to one of these is an ELW orbiting a L9 dwarf (heated by a Neutron far away) I found yesterday.
I nearly died on this tiny tiny moon (active volcanism!) around this ELW, which also was a moon to a Y dwarf itself.

I almost died of frustration while I searched for volcanism on the moon this week
Found only 1 site, I searched many many hours...

Well, I got this one:

@ Guywano: Hey, you're right, I made a mistake there, and the count's broken as well. (Turns out there are 32 Earth-likes which co-orbit a T dwarf and another star.) In that case, congratulations again to xtnsgo on being the first to discover such!
@ Stulli: Oh, you finally found one? Congrats! I've also spent plenty of hours on Speccy's ELM's moon trying to find a site, but came up empty.

This planet looked interesting as I approached:
It's a planetary pair, almost touching !
Not quite. Leave the one planet and immediately you are in orbital cruise of the other
I am wondering if that mountain scarring on the bigger planet has anything to do with the close proximity of the smaller one, according to Planetary Forge? Or just coincidence?
Anyone interested, it is here:
I haven't claimed the system yet, but am not likely to be able to for quite some time, so I leave it for posterity

Yes, I shall have to fly between them and see how that looks.
Here's a photo from the smaller planet. The lens is zoomed back so the larger planet looks relatively small, but it's a nice view:
I have just revisited, and the planets are further apart, so there must be an elliptical orbit involved. I will check again in a few hours.
The small one does a full orbit every 4 hours. It doesn't look so close when I fly between them, but closer than most moon pairs, I think.

Can I just say how d*mn awesome this thread is.
BYOOMIAE QO-R E4-2283 4 is an interesting planet.
It's big (4.6 G), has rings and .... on approaching it when the sun is up, has green outgassing in the craters.
and actually forms a thin atmosphere on the sunny side of the planet
