SUMMARY
A Class V Gas Giant orbits a White Dwarf, once in 18.74min. At a distance of 0.45 LS.A Class V Gas Giant orbits a White Dwarf, once in 18.74min. At a distance of 0.45 LS.
DESCRIPTION

A Black Hole system with two white dwarfs, where one is orbited by Class V Gas Giant once in 18.74min at a distance of only 0.45ls. Spectacular view and a challenge to map the Gas Giant, which was eventually achived by CMDR. Ozzie J. Isaacs.

Oudaitt AA-A g33: A Unique Astronomical Marvel

Description: Discover a truly extraordinary star system, Oudaitt AA-A g33, where a black hole coexists with two white dwarfs. One of these white dwarfs, designated Oudaitt AA-A g33 B (DC), is orbited by a Class V Gas Giant in an astonishingly close orbit of just 0.45 light-seconds, completing its circuit every 18.74 minutes. The sight is nothing short of spectacular and poses a significant challenge for mapping the gas giant, a feat ultimately achieved by the intrepid CMDR Ozzie J. Isaacs.

Unique Phenomenon: Upon entering the system, travelers arrive near the black hole Oudaitt AA-A g33 A. Initially, the system may seem unremarkable, but venturing 9200 light-seconds to the nearest white dwarf, Oudaitt AA-A g33 B, reveals the breathtaking dynamics of the dual white dwarfs (DC and DA). Here, the true wonder unfolds as the DC white dwarf hosts a Class V Gas Giant that orbits it every 18.7 minutes, creating an extraordinary celestial dance.

Why It's Unique:

Close Orbit: The gas giant's incredibly tight orbit of 0.45 light-seconds from the white dwarf is a rarity, demonstrating extreme gravitational interactions.

Rapid Orbital Period: The 18.74-minute orbital period is exceptionally short for a gas giant, indicating powerful gravitational forces at play.

Stellar Combination: The presence of a black hole, two white dwarfs, and a closely orbiting gas giant in one system is an unusual and complex configuration, providing valuable insights into stellar evolution and dynamics.

Visual Splendor: The contrast between the brilliant white dwarfs and the dark expanse of the black hole, along with the swift-moving gas giant, offers an awe-inspiring visual spectacle.

Exploration Challenge: Mapping such a system requires skill and perseverance, highlighting the achievements of explorers like CMDR Ozzie J. Isaacs.

This system is a must-visit for any avid explorer, offering not only a feast for the eyes but also a profound appreciation of the complexities and wonders of our galaxy.
