Through the Darkness of Space

Well, I found my first neutron star today. Sometimes referred to as 'pulsars'. The short version, they are what happens when a super giant star collapses and does not become a black hole, instead forming a super small yet super dense and hot blue star.

The bonus is that, due to the unique radiation they produce in their jet cones, if you fly into said cones you can supercharge your FSD allowing four times the jump range for one jump. There's a ton of science and stuff on the subject, but all I really care abut is if it works and if it is safe.

Good thing it is both.

I went through the jet cone, which is a weird experience. The forces inside cause a ton of turbulence. Enough that I completely lost control of Curiosity. And any pilot can tell you, the worst feeling in the world is being a passenger when you are in the pilot's seat. I kept calm. And sure enough I was spit out the end none the worse for wear and with a supercharged FSD. One long jump later and I had covered four times the distance I normally can.

So that was cool.

Other than that I found plenty of interesting things. Another Ammonia World, a couple Water Worlds.

A good day all things considered.

Till next time,
