This is the first time I have seen this so I dunno.....

in this picture there is one very bright sun....

I then saw a lens flare that looked like it was coming from behind the large sun...okay a second sun.....not uncommon in multiple system cases.

but what do I see when I look over....another sun......3 suns....or are my eyes messed up?.....I have never seen this before!

Very nice find Tacogeddon. I rarely see systems with multiple stars such as this, and I believe it is quite rare, although I could be wrong. I like the first picture with the extremely bright star. It almost looks like a star exploding.

view of the "twin suns" from the planet, it is a mystery as to why the suns are close and so alike, I have seen companion stars in the game, but the ship doesn't say that they are.

sorry for double post.....but....upon using the "locate local targets" button I found that beyond the small twin suns.....there is a small companion star! but this doesn't count as a sun... actually couldn't even see it, the ship pointed it out....the light from the the twin suns blocked my view.

nice pics!
that blue star is so full of rays! : P

watching at that lens flare effect which seems to multiply the number of stars, one thing popped into my mind..
NIV is missing of that effect which multiply the image with the gravity effect.. how it's called that thing??..
galileo-lens maybe? : P
doh! /me very ignorant! »¦ |

sometimes it appear in shape of a ring.
it would be nice to see that effect in realtime.

Welcome to the forums, Tacogeddon.

Nice photos you have there, congrats on the discovery.

I think you refer to a gravitational lens. When it appears ring-like, it's called an "Einstein ring". It's a relatively weak effect though, so I doubt we would see all that much of a difference if it was ingame.

hmmmm.....heres a question....is it rare to find a multiple system with no planets?


because I just found one.
