SUMMARY
Twin neutron stars 1ls apart. This system provides a very good example for close orbiting neutrons.Twin neutron stars in a close orbit, only 1 ls apart.
DESCRIPTION

Nestled 1,100 light years above the galactic center, less than 90 light years from the Ring of Fire POI, the Horseman's Fiery Reins is a stellar spectacle boasting two fast-spinning neutron stars, their mesmerizing dance unfolding just one light-second apart. As explorers approach the drop point, a 2.6 solar masses black hole serves as the gravitational anchor. The neutron stars' rapid rotation paints streaks of luminescence across the celestial canvas, creating a captivating symphony of gravitational forces, just 20,000 light seconds from the jump point. From the vantage point far above the galactic plane, one hemisphere of space plunges into darkness, revealing the uncharted expanses beyond the Milky Way, creating a wonderful contrast to the mystic glow emitted by the energetic cones, while the opposite side is bathed in the radiant glow of our galaxy's splendor. Discovered by CMDR Knuffya Voide, the Horseman's Fiery Reins stands as a testament to the awe-inspiring beauty and primordial powers hidden within the cosmic expanse.

Nestled 1,100 light years above the galactic center, less than 90 light years from the Ring of Fire tourist beacon, the Horseman's Fiery Reins is a stellar spectacle boasting two fast-spinning neutron stars, their mesmerizing dance unfolding just one light-second apart.

As explorers approach the drop point (itself a 20,000 ls distance from the arrival point in the system), a 2.6 solar masses black hole serves as the gravitational anchor. The rapid rotation of the neutron stars paints streaks of light across the celestial canvas, creating a captivating symphony of gravitational forces.
