Today was basically "nebula day" and, overall, a good day. The overwhelming number of dark sectors that I navigated to, led me to actually study which nebulas exist, why some are colourful and bright while others are dark. Guess I picked mostly dark ones. I ended up filtering a hand full of them which certainly sped up the trip.
Some of the places I visited today were outstanding in their beauty with the system Sheron and NGC 6729 aka R CrA Nebula taking the top spots. The day ended in a place I've visited before but never took the time to appreciate: Maia. To make things even better, today I had a conversation with a coworker about the Pleiades in general and Maia in particular. The universe does not care about the big-brain-apes ability to find patterns everywhere but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate it.
Tomorrow I'll take my time around Maia and get moving again. A small green area, indicative of visited systems, is starting to appear on my galaxy plot. I'm looking forward to adding even more green to it. It's humbling to see that the green mark left by these 28 waypoints already visited is almost nothing when plotted over a picture of the galaxy.
Thank you for reading, commanders. Be safe out there.
(In the meantime, FDev support kindly changed my CMDR's name to something that I'm comfortable sharing, so if any of you fine explorers wants to add me to their friends list, feel free to do so. I'm now Romeo India Charlie in-game too).
