And is it safe to visit do we think?!!
Um... anyone know what this is likey to be??

And is it safe to visit do we think?!!
Yes I jumped into a system recently and there were 2 stars near to each other
-
So close in fact that when I jumped in I was instantly thrown into the "emergency stop-too close" drop out of SC
- I wasn't able to jump into the system and had to pick another star system to warp to in order to escape (Going to SC dropped me out instantly)
-Luckily only took 3% hull damage though
Sometimes you fly through the first star if they're really close. First time it happened to me I was sure that this was the end.
Past experience suggests that it is exactly what it looks like - an exceptionally large star.
If it is a single star, it is safe to visit. But, if it is a multiple star system, there is a chance you get fried to a crisp when you jump in.
Now go take a look.
Meep!! ok!
Might well be a carbon star, I visited HIP 363 recently, which looks like that on the galaxy map.
If you are exploring, pack a heat sink launcher. You can deploy them in super cruise and they may give you a couple of extra seconds of grace before you and anything even remotely conducive to heat turn into vapour.
um... I don't have any....
Well then short of main - lining ice cream, opening the cockpit and farting profusely you don't have any safe way of cooling your ship. Approach with extreme caution or jump in with both feet and a hand.........
Your choice.
You feeling lucky?
Good thing is that you can always return with heat sinks if things go pear - shaped.
I mean seriously!!! look at the size of this thing!!!! This is like tiny nebula size!!
I'm still 700ly away an plan on pulling up in a neighbouring system and fully expecting the whole sky to be it up with this thing from there! I'll also be on the end of at least a 5 day exploration trip with lots of scanning and an earth-like thrown in, so big money to be lost if all goes wrong...
Who fancies meeting me there to take the plunge??!

Don't listen to all the naysayers I've visited lots of the big suns; incidents where you get stuck in one are remarkably rare...
Mind you, I always jump a little when I see more than one sun flying towards me as I drop out of hyperspace.

There are some monsters out there I tell ya

Yes but did you go in??!! :E
Carbon star and M class star
I didn't personnally, but Wezen is a popular destination, just search on google (or not if you don't want to spoil the fun
). Hint : what is in Wezen is truly frightening...As you can see on my screenshot, Polaris is locked by a permit that you can't obtain yet. The system is reserved for future content. THARGOIDS I TELL YA !
I found a huge blue one, fairly close to human space.
LYSOOF AA-A H1
It's a really cool system to explore; everything is lit in crazy blue!
I think it's maybe bugged - it's a blue-white supergiant (at the end of it's life) but less than 1 million years old!!

Also look here for an idea about the different stars

Honestly you will be fine warping in, the game stops you at a safe distance. You do need to make sure your throttle is at zero once your FSD activates though. The problems arise when you encounter a binary or greater star system, since the game only seems to consider the primary mass in the system when calculating a safe position to arrive at...
