POI Name: Thor's Eye
Galmap Ref: Thor's Eye

Desc Update request/rewrite: "Thor's Eye is the name given to this system containing a massive O-class star and a black hole. Some cartographers consider it to have been misnamed - the Norse God who lost an eye was Odin (not Thor).

Thor's Eye is a common waypoint for travelers heading to the Lagoon Nebula, which is just 250 Ly toward galactic north. Thor's Eye is situated in the middle of open cluster NGC 6530, composed mainly of class-A and class-B stars and various stellar remnants (neutron stars and black holes). A blue-white supergiant can also be found nearby (HD 164865)."

Proposed name: Keyhole Nebula (Major)
POI type: Nebula
Location: DRYIO BLI GJ-T C6-4182
Description: Smallish, purple, black and brown nebula northeast of Sagittarius A*. Viewed from certain angles this nebula resembles a keyhole. No remarkable stars are present but this is a fine example of its type and recommended visiting for any Cmdr on a long-haul passenger mission to the Eastern part of the Milky Way.

Just over 400 light years away is:

Proposed name: Keyhole Nebula (Minor)

Update:

POI Name: NGC 3590 Open Star Cluster
Desc Update: "A cluster of young class-B and class-A stars on the edge of the Orion Spur. The cluster also contains several black holes and neutron stars.

Of note for scientists are:

* NGC 3590 CLA 15, which contains a class III gas giant in close orbit around a binary pair of black holes. How this gas giant has managed to remain intact under the intense gravity is a mystery;
* NGC 3590 MV 4, which has two class-B and one class-A stars with-in 40 light-seconds of each other;
* NGC 3590 65 A 1, a planetary body in a state near liquid metal, being just 20 Ls from the class-A star. This body is 100% metal, and has an atmosphere of 100% silicate materiel."

Update:

POI Name: Blue Planetary Nebula
GalMap ref: GCRV 715

Desc: "Also known as NGC 3918, the Blue Planetary Nebula was observed on old Earth by famous astronomer John Herschel. The nebula is the product of a Wolf-Rayet class star which is rapidly blowing away its' outer layers. The WR-class star now has only 60% of the mass of Sol, but 6.9 times the radius. Due to the fusion of heavy elements this body has a surface temperature over 145,000 K and emits tremendous amounts of ultraviolet light. It is the excitement of the gas by the ultraviolet radiation which causes the nebula to shine."

Is there any update on the "Aphrodites' Temple" Submission I made a while back?


Name : Aphrodites' Temple
POI type: Nebula
System ref.:Hypua Flyoae LZ-F d11-26
Description: A mid sized pink and purple nebula. A beautiful view, but an otherwise ordinary collection of stars. This combination
of feminine colours, lead it to be named after the Greek Goddess of Love, Aphrodite.

Two terrestrial worlds in close orbit are not in itself enough to mark the system as a POI - it is not that unusual to encounter something like that. Better luck next time CMDR :)

Update request:

POI Name: Sacaqawea Space Port
GalMap Ref: Skaudai CH-B d14-34

Desc: "Sacaqawea Space Port – Skaudai CH-B d14-34, planet 1 A

Located inside the Skaudai Nebula, this is one of the Colonia Connection Highway outposts, constructed in October 3302. The port is named after 'Sacagawea' of old Earth. She was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition achieve each of its chartered mission objectives exploring the Louisiana Purchase. With the expedition, between 1804 and 1806 (old Earth years), she traveled thousands of miles from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean, established cultural contacts with the Native American populations, and researched natural history."

Desc: "Gagarin Gate – Gru Hypue KS-T d3-31, planet 4

One of the Colonia Connection Highway outposts, constructed in October 3302. Located inside the Vostok-1 nebula, this port is named after old Earth astronaut Yuri Gagarin, the first man to fly into outer space and orbit old Earth. Vostok-1 was the name of the vehicle on which he achieved his historic space flight."

POI Name: Sadr
GalMap Ref: Sadr

Desc: "Sadr, also known as Gamma Cygni, is an F-class super-giant and one of the brightest stars visible from old Earth. It has historical significance for astronomers, being used as one of the stable reference points by which other stars are classified. The Sadr region, or IC 1318, is the diffuse emission nebula which surrounds Sadr. Other nearby nebula include the Butterfly Nebula and the Crescent Nebula."

POI Name: Hillary Depot
GalMap ref: Blu Thua AI-A c14-10

Desc:" Hillary Depot – Blu Thua AI-A c14-10, planet A 4A

One of the Colonia Connection Highway outposts, constructed in October 3302. The depot is named after old Earth explorer Edmund Hillary. On 29 May 1953, Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers confirmed to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. Fittingly this depot is located at the base of a large mountain."

"Eagle's Landing – Eagle Sector IR-W d1-117, planet 2 A

One of the Colonia Connection Highway outposts, constructed in October 3302. Eagle's Landing has dual origins for its' name: It is situated inside the Eagle Nebula; and named for the Eagle, the lunar module used on the Apollo 11 mission by which the first humans landed on Earth's moon."
