Very close call

I've almost gotten used to the occasional heart stopping experience of arriving into a system through the corona of a very near companion star, but I just had to share the view I got upon arriving at this particular system as I had a very close encounter with a very toasty Class V gas giant.

That gas giant is a mere .52 Ls from my arrival point and is actually inside the scooping zone of the primary star (I flew between them while getting close as I could get to the gas giant without dropping out of SC and I was still scooping)

The secondary star is the one slightly to the left of the bottom of my radar and is only 32 Ls away and as I arrived into the system I barely scraped over the top of the secondary so it was kind of a heart stopping double near miss and I shall need to go change my pants before continuing my journey.

Glad you're still alive and thanks for sharing the pic. This is REALLY close.

Fly (as) safe (as possible),

So awesome. This kind of thing is what I love looking for. Massive stars, tiny stars, rare stars, super close bodies etc. Landed on a tiny 300km rock last night that was 5ls from a B class star. That fill up the horizon pretty good. :eek:
