Another Barnacle, also in the same area.

Pleiades sector IH-V c2-16 C 4 coord -0.7678, -162.5522

All finds on this planet have so far been in yellow sandy floored canyons in a super-large crater.

Well Done O7 CMDR, I believe this planet is new for barnacles, this gives us more temps and other information to analyse. Just wondering did you find them as static or as Blue POI?

I've always found them static, never as blue POIs.

Another Barnacle, very close by on the same planet:

Pleiades sector IH-V c2-16 C 4 at coord -3.1300, -162.2377
http://imgur.com/KmdejxX

Notes:
This is an M class star, High metal world (0.21G, 374K).
The system is 14.76 ly from Merope and is not in line with Pleiades sector JC-U b3-2 and Merope.

For other Barnacle hunters:
I was flying at full throttle, with boosts, 45deg down angle, altitude of approx 2km. Spotted the white central dome of the barnacle well before green sparklies.

Do you have any idea how happy I am right now?

I've been waiting ages for a new planet and now I got more than i wished for...an entirely new system as well.

Congrats CMDR!

Thanks! ^^

SHEET IS BEING UPDATED! \o/

Nebula was a typo. He's already corrected himself in response to Rizal and others saying barnacles can only be found in one other place.

Thanks very much. My conclusion is therefore invalid.
Next person to quote MBs first statement without the correction gets a virtual knee to the cookies.

This may already have been discussed waaay back in the threadnought, but... I was just thinking about the UAs and I have a simple question: Is Merope considered the center of the Pleiades nebula? If the answer is Yes, I perhaps we are barking up the wrong tree trying to find the significance of the Merope star. Perhaps its significance is not its physical properties but that it just happens to be at the geographic center. If we think of the shell as a POI, then all UAs are saying by pointing there is that the is the center of an area that is significant.

Good thinking, but if you look at this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M45map.jpg) image of the Pleiades you will see (1) the Pleiades is indeed a collection of individual nebulae - which may be the reason for MB's use of both "nebula" and "nebulae" when he mentioned the location of the barnacles (2) Merope does not appear to be anywhere near the geographic centre, even if you use a weighted centroid; to my thinking Alcyone is nearer but in fact none of the seven sisters appear to be located at the centre.

You have pasted in the wrong photos link- these two are to Pleiades sector JC-U B3-2 barnacle :)

Interesting pic. Note the C shape overlay with two breaks in it. Where have I seen that before? Maybe "stamped" on a barnacle? ;-)

In my opinion, the UAs and barnacles are all about the Pleiades which is why we haven't found any evidence of them anywhere else. Heck the fact that EVERY UA found points at
Merope backs that up.

On the Palin issue, I'm thinking the news story was too perfect, too detailed about his destination, and probably intended to throw off hijackers while he slipped away to another location to research the UAs. Unless he had discovered a relationship between the UAs and the black hole in Maia, it makes no sense that he would choose a planet there to set up a research base. Why wouldn't he research in Merope near the star that the UAs are pointing to? My guess is that's where he is, on a planet near the Merope star...which is where I'm at...exploring for anything unusual. Happy hunting CMDRs!!! o7

Actually the Pleiades sector JC-U B3-2 in the pics is the next system he has targeted in his route. The on below shows his current location :)

Actually, I haven't. JC-U b3-2 was my target system at the time. I was checking the lineup with it, Merope and IH-V c2-16. Note the name of the system below the name of the target system.

Edit: ninja'd on my own defense;)

You are a hero CMDR!
Your new discovery is going straight to the FRONT PAGE soon.

The planet's temperature is becoming a thing:
Until now all the planets with Barnacles have temps between 190K and 380K.
The new Planet has almost the SAME temperature as the other two in Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2: 374K vs 379K!

It's not coincidence.

So around 100°C.
Biggest piece of new info to me is the star type of the new discovery. M class?
To get that temperature with an M class means the planet is within a couple of hundred ls of the jump in.

Looking for HMCs, around 370-380K, with coloured patches of canyons in the equatorial band of the planet. The latitude is in low numbers for each discovery, meaning equatorial.

Where is this new system in relation to the previous 3 systems? Up, down, left, right of the "line"?
