CMDR's Log - Deeply Uninteresting Expedition - Supplemental

We stumbled across a tenth signal in the FSS. It does not register on the scanner, but you can hear it. We are 5 kylies out from Barnard's Loop.
It happens in every systems since a few days, it seems like the Anomaly register as a +1 signal. FDev hints that (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-minor-update-08-09-2022.607786/) there may be something to uncover in some sound sources. Maybe this one, among others?

Today's discoveries were overshadowed by this system - trying desperately to get a run of star types (AFKML):
Choices

Arrival is a little toasty, and you must watch that fast-moving secondary.

The Class V Gas Giant orbits the L-Type star roughly every 4 hours.
Lined up
four hour orbit
Must be hot

The next system contained a water world, 2 terraform candidates, one of which twins with an Earth-like world.
Terraform and Earthlike Twin

This is where Sundari's Testimony has come to rest for a while!
Earthlike Parking Spot

A new base to extend our exploration. Do stop by if you are in the region! o7

As insults go, wide rings doesn't really make the grade...
Yo Mammas Rings are Wide

Water worlds are plenty. Those which are terraform candidates, not so much.
Terraform Water World

Also rarer are Terraform Candidate that you can land on and observe up close and personal (Note: driving around was not fun!):
Small Beginnings
Terraform Departure

These HMC twins were worth a glancing visit, even if just for the biology:

Just another Bacteria

Continuing the cause of turning the galaxy blue, one star at a time! o7

I had taken samples of Bacterium Volu (Value = 400 500 Cr) on the icy body HIP 35275 3 A. Then I decided to fly northbound for a better place to take photos of the nice ring this moon has. That nice blue sky is made by a 100% oxygen atmosphere.

Then suddenly I saw an ice current. I had not thought that it would even be possible to see such on any planet, but I think this looks quite like it.

It looks very much like clear ice from an altitude of about 500 - 1000 m.

From a low altitude it looks more like frozen ground than clear ice.

Close-up views show that this ice current is a mixture of ice, sand and stones.

I took my last pictures of the ice current from an altitude of 20 km. This ice current was so long that I did not see its northern end, but its southern end is at the bottom of this picture.

We are preparing for a crossover. Leaving the Gludgae sector - a sector replete with Earth-like worlds and bounties of terraform candidates - and heading down into the Phroea Phio sector. Immediately we cross over, we find ourselves in a field of L and T class dwarfs. Gone are the M class stars. There are still smatterings of lonely G, K and A class stars, and it's around these that we have discovered some unusual sights. Phroea Phio is going to be... um... interesting to explore.

First off is a sizable Ammonia World just sharing a barycentre with a ringed gas giant:
Ammonia World Partner

And then there the jewel in the crown of this journey down below. I'm calling it Pharaoh's Rest - a ringed ice world with an argon atmosphere eccentrically orbiting a ringed gas giant. The views are gorgeous, although that is all it has...
Argon Rings 1
Argon Rings 3

A few systems later and we have a system with quite a few ecentricities:
Orbits

In it, we found a place for Sundari's Testimony to visit.
Research
My next journal entry will probably be from that moon.

A scenic stopping spot!
Carrier-Long

We'll be getting the rover out tomorrow! Until then, o7

There's no such thing as a quick visit to a planet's surface.

Rule 101 for exobiology is "Never touch the plants..."
Rule 101

With seven species, you often have to search distinct biomes.
Ice Cap

And sure enough.
Illusive Fungoid
But do you see the parent gas giant in the sky? Did I make you look twice?

My noble steed for exploration. Is it vanity that I'm letting the paint fade even though the carrier's in orbit?
My faithful steed

Only a few seconds to reach home!
Brief Visit

See you in the black. o7
