SUMMARY
→	A shepherd moon along the path to Amundsen's Star offers spectacular views of its parent planet's metal-rich ring.
DESCRIPTION
→	[Lyed MS-B d13-0](https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/6309069/name/Lyed+MS-B+d13-0) is a waypoint along the [charted route](https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-routes/show/id/2163/name/Route+to+Amundsen%27s+Star+%28Lyed+YJ-I+d9-0%29) to [Amundsen's Star](https://edastro.com/gec/view/23). Planet 3 A in this system is a shepherd moon, orbiting just a few hundred km from the metal-rich ring of its parent gas giant. ![](https://imgur.com/eqfQ2IY.png) This view from the ring's edge shows the moon, just a few hundred km away. The ring intersects with the moon's orbital cruise envelope, allowing adept pilots to cruise through the edge of the ring at close to 30 km/s. ![](https://imgur.com/allf29U.png) The rings are prominent in the moon's sky, and tidal forces from the gas giant sufficiently heat the moon's core to cause volcanic activity. ![](https://imgur.com/FDzoBTx.png) Because of its distance from the galactic center, the moon also offers an excellent view of the Milky Way's disc. Planet 2 is visible in this image against Planet 3's ring. ![](https://imgur.com/wmXM6CV.png) Conversely, almost no stars are visible in most other directions, offering a clear view of the nearby Magellanic Cloud irregular galaxies. This scenic location also offers an excellent opportunity to refill on the materials needed for FSD recharges, as Lyed MS-B d13-0 is listed as a Green System on EDSM.
