A tip for you, OP. Target the star while you're facing it to scan it. On the lower left of your HUD, once the scan completes, you'll find out what class of star it is. It will tell you it's a DA, DC or DQ class White Dwarf.

White Dwarfs are visually similar but also distinct to Neutron Stars. White Dwarfs have larger bright cores, smaller jets that barely move and much larger exclusion zones. Neutron Stars have tiny cores, longer, more defined jets and much more exaggerated movement which ranges in speed from slow spinning to ultra fast.

There are a lot of White Dwarfs in human inhabited space, but maybe only a couple of nearby Neutron Stars.

i never seen a DQ only DA DB DC and i believe there is also a class H in the bubble and at least one neutron star. if you cant tell from the size/brightness/distance from the star when you jump in which it is generally neutron stars have fast rotation and the jets move very fast. with white dwarf the jet seems static or moves very slowly indeed.

Thank You CMDR's, You guy's know your stuff!

In my +\- 200 hours in ED I never encountered a white dwarf. The strange, and to me the fun, thing about ED is that despite having played it for 200 hours I have the feeling i'm just beginning and there is so much more to learn.

Thanks for helping me out, learning all the time. I'll try slingshotting!

Black holes are the coolest though (and a little scary).

If you give the tail end of one of those plumes a little snuggle, you'll wind up further than ever before (Frame Shift Overcharge).

Damn after watching that first video I want to see a black dwarf now. Too bad they're not in the game. Maybe in a few more billion billion years they will be...

So I've encountered another one. This time i scanned it:

0612A2E25D1825C70B685E0FC0180B901B188B5A


It is a DQ White Dwarf in the KUV 410-4 A system. When I approached the NAV beacon i got a warning from my ship computer that my FSD was overloaded.

if you travel to a lot of different systems you'll find that's this isn't that rare but I understand your curiosity. first time I found one I was really confused

That's a White Dwarf OP, which is a rare star type, good job finding one! White Dwarf stars considerably buff your jump range for a period, so are quite useful. They are also worth a lot of money, so scan it. To get the jump buff, you need to fly toward the streams slowly, then once near the streams, speed up and point toward the star. Do this quickly because you will begin to overheat.
