#elitedangerous Are you bored of scanning trees? Want to visit some other amazing locations? More importantly, do you feel the need, the need for speed? Then head to the Ghost Giraffe Tourist Hub on HIP 16548 8d and take part in the latest Buckyball Race.

#elitedangerous Today's "interesting" colonisation is Shaara Enterprise in IC 2391 Sector FL-Y c6. Now at first glance you might think this is a fairly uninteresting settlement photo. But look in the sky ... that's no moon!

In this week's show I mentioned this map/graphic I knocked up illustrating current colonisation efforts. You can also see an interactive/up to date map by going to edastro.com/galmap/#-367... and selecting "Galaxy" and "Inhabited Systems" from the top-right layers menu.

#elitedangerous #stellarscreenshots Today's "interesting" colonisation system is the Vela Pulsar, affording some spectacular close orbit views of its neutron star.

#elitedangerous #stellarscreenshots Interesting colonisation guide entry #31 - "Geyser Resort" on Pegasi Sector BL-W B2-5 A 3 a. Can anyone recommend a good plumber? forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/alec...

#elitedangerous #stellarscreenshots Today's additions to my "colonisation guide" include a tourist settlement with a powerful geyser right on its edge plus this Ocellus orbiting the coldest magnetic white dwarf known to present day astronomers.
