Oops. Something tells me that can't be fetched retroactively. Sorry; next time for sure. Maybe I'll make a point of stopping there again on the way back.

If you're on PC then the landing and take off coordinates will be in the journals.

(EDDiscovery can help you find them, link in my sig)
 
Re: Black holes - can it be confirmed this density of black holes does not exist elsewhere in the galaxy at the same height or depth? "Fields" of things are often common features.
I'm confused. How can I confirm this? My experience in this game is still small and I don't know many subtleties yet.

Thank you. Unfortunately, that'd only be close. I drove a while to get there. Still, it'll be helpful when I go back, so again, thank you!
 
Those mountains are awesome!
The Witch's Watchtower planet is Witch Head Sector DL-Y d22 1 b, and my landing coord's were 45 S 57'59" 159 E 55'0." I wouldn't call that close enough, though. If someone is bored in the area feel free to find it, but I will go back after my current excursions to get the exact coords myself.

Can you provide that in direct numerics, ie 45.xxxx? These are easier for pilots to use when finding the location.
 
Yeah I just figured that out. I'll get it eventually, I promise :rolleyes:
Is this it? It doesn't make sense to me that there are three numbers. We are talking geographical coordinates, not astronomical, right?
378.22, -407.66, -722.91
 
No, they're visible in your HUD as soon as you enter planetary orbit, under current altitude. Look to the right of the arrow pointer in this screenshot (the yellow-on-red doesn't help, but you can see it).

Name: Dark Waters
Galmap Ref: Pru Scraa FI-B d13-32
Type: Planetary

Description: Go past the Perseus Stem, to the leading edge of the Boreas, and climb your way out of the busy galactic disk. 1300 light years above the plane, you will find a rather ordinary collection of stellar objects. Two pairs circle each other at great distance. The neutron star and a cold L-dwarf provide the gravitational reference point for the visitor's frame-shift drive; an additional M-class and L-class dwarf are loosely bound at a far distance of 750 au.

At this distance above the plane, the stars thin and the spaces become lonely, cold and dark. It is with some astonishment that we can find no less than six terrestrial water worlds with carbon-based-water life, orbiting the primary L-class dwarf. Ranging from 0.7 to 5 au from the L-dwarf, these worlds are nearly invisible in the human visible light spectrum. The L-dwarf puts out most of its feeble energy in infrared, emitting a mere 36,000 W/m^2 in the peak of it's emission band. Sol puts out nearly 2 million W/m^2 in this same infrared band.

The distant dwarf stars contribute dribs of energy to these wet worlds, but the neutron star - farther than dwarf planet Pluto is from Sol - bathes them in powerful ultraviolet and x-ray radiation. The life on these worlds has adopted to deal with the powerful ionizing radiation, using the extreme particle energy to power their life-cycles. These are not worlds for human visitors. Any person so foolish as to visit unprotected would be nearly blind in the dark, and then quickly dead from the intense dose of radiation.

For the space traveler, these quiet worlds provide contemplation of the vastness and strangeness of the universe. Exit frame-shift, turn off your thrusters, and listen to the sound of your breath as you view these imposible dark worlds, in a dark void, to the faint light of the galaxy.
