Map Update, #3477-3537 [Note: Start after post #3555 for future updates]
This bunch had a lot of things that were not quite notable enough. Usually this is because they're common in some sense, and the submitter just likes the way they look. Nothing wrong with that, but they don't reach the level needed to add into the GMP.

What in the heck is going on with that star in that first photo? Is that a mod?
Not sure why, but keeps happening when going to the system and showing system map.
Here's original while I was there first place:
That always happens to the system I first log in to. After jumping, everything is back to normal.
FYI, on the EDastro ELW list, I've added some columns and rearranged them slightly. It now tries to determine the parent star, if it's neither the entry star nor the immediate parent body. For instance, if the ELW is orbiting a gas giant, which is orbiting a star that isn't the main star. It also tries to determine whether it's a moon or main planet, as well as whether it's a single star system or multiple. This makes it a little easier to search the list, or use filters, etc.
POI Name: Mag Itha
POI Type: Remarkable moon full of mountain ranges and lonely peaks.
GalMap Ref: Swuenoi AA-A h86 A 1 A
Description: Commander Jav Marlo found this system during Distant Worlds 2.
Extract from his log:
(…)
Resuming Log. I continue to look for high mass systems on the way to Luna’s Shadow, and I think I might have found something in system Swuenoi AA-A h86. The system contains two stars and many high metal content worlds. There is vulcanism activity in just one rocky body, the only moon of the first planet.
The Hyperion approaching Swuenoi AA-A h86 A 1 A
The surface of the moon is covered by very deep craters and lots of peaks and mountain ranges. I am going to land on the verge of one of these craters that has a huge peak on the other side.
The Hyperion landed at Swuenoi AA-A h86 A 1 A
I have rested and now I feel ready to continue exploring the surface of the moon. From above I can see many lonely mountains, and one peaking above the rest.
The Hyperion exploring the surface of Swuenoi AA-A h86 A 1 A
I have tried to land on the peak, but I could not do it. This system is in the region known as the Formorian Frontier. The Formorians are a supernatural race in Irish mythology. They are often portrayed as hostile and monstrous beings who come from the sea or underground. That remind me that, according to Irish mythology, the site of the first battle fought in Ireland, that confronted the Formorians with the followers of Partholon, took place in a plain called Mag Itha. The plain of Mag Itha is said to have been devastated by Partholón's army. Three hundred Fomorians took part in the battle, and Partholón was victorious. Well, from above this mountain I feel myself like contemplating the battle field of Mag Itha and its many scars after the confrontation. I can not think of a more appropriate name for this place.
The Hyperion hovering over a peak in Swuenoi AA-A h86 A 1 A
I wish I had more time to spare on this place, but I must go on.

I actually collected all updates in post #3604. They are mostly the same but still with some minor corrections, so it would be better to include them.
Name: Envious Prince
GalMap Ref: Swueneia GF-C D14-48
Type: Planetary Feature
Description: Found during a detour through The Bleak Lands as part of the Distant Worlds 2 expedition, this terraformable water world sits in an orbit 14 lightseconds from a purple Y dwarf. It sports two tiny concentric rings - each merely 1100 or so kilometres wide. The rings have a miniscule mass for a ring system of only 31.4 million megatonnes. Perhaps in spite of this, the inner of the two tiny slivers of rocky ring manages to yield a benitoite hotspot. The Y dwarf's rings stand in contrast, orders of magnitude larger and containing assorted hotspots.
Purple being a colour of regency, and blue of nobility, I fancy it an envious prince, as its king holds vastly more of the kingdom's riches.

It happens to me every now and again as well... Bug of some kind. Right after I log in, if I go to system map before jumping to new system, the stars will not have their skins applied
Name: Ferrous Fields
Type: Planetary
Galmap ref: Prooe Flyi QH-X b7-65
Description: Planet A is a 100% metal body orbiting the M-class star at a mere 1.80 light-seconds. The scorched surface is a vivid red-orange, a planet gone entirely to rust, from the combination of high levels of iron and a temperature nearly hot enough to liquify that iron. The dynamics of this M-dwarf can be seen in unusual detail from the surface; the nearby L-dwarf can be seen to rise, eclipses the M-dwarf, and set in a few hours. Silicate vapour geysers complete the spectacle.
(Submitter/scientist note: I know orange rust is iron(III) oxide, which is ferric, not ferrous ..... but Ferrous Fields sounds better.)

Yes, happens for me too from time to time. Relogging or jumping helps.

| Game map search ref: | Drootie OX-B B33-5 |
| Description: | This Class V gas giant closely orbits Star A of a Red Dwarf binary pair at a distance of approx 2.5LS You can just fly between the star and GG without activating your fuel scoop... but only just. A close fly over the gas giant gives epic views of the star and its binary partner in the distance. From a nearby planet you can also watch the gas giant cross the face of the star. Wasn't actually sure if this sort of close gas giant was rare enough for submission, but the experienced explorers I talked to, say this doesn't happen that often. |

Drooteou II-Z d1-137

Drooteou II-Z d1-137 B 5 a
Dark and misty surface, even on the day-side. Biological and geological sites (furmaroles and crystals), a crater nearby at one of the sites, filled with greenish mist inside.

John Stewart Williamson (April 29, 1908 – November 10, 2006), who wrote as Jack Williamson, was an American science fiction writer. The concept of terraforming developed from both science fiction and actual science, was coined by Jack Williamson in a science-fiction short story ("Collision Orbit") published during 1942 in Astounding Science Fiction.
Since Pyrivo BW-K D9-36 contains 8 terraformable candididates i think that name may work.
