SUMMARY
A landable planet that plunges extremely close to the white dwarf star that it orbits. Its highly eccentric orbits makes it easy to land on when it's farther away from the star.	→	A landable planet that plunges extremely close to the white dwarf star that it orbits.

DESCRIPTION
The planet B 1 of this system is a landable metal-rich planet that orbits a white dwarf star on a highly eccentric trajectory, and at the closest approach, it passes extremely close to the star. A complete orbit takes 0.2 days (4.8 hours), so it's easy to land on the surface while the body is farther from the star - and then wait until it reaches periapsis. During this time, the jets of the white dwarf light up the sky, producing spectacular sights. Keep in mind the danger, however! As of the time of discovery, 3311. January, this planet is the record holder for the closest approach to a white dwarf star. https://youtu.be/dZvGDGogexI	→	The planet B 1 of this system is a landable metal-rich planet that orbits a white dwarf star on a highly eccentric trajectory, and at the closest approach, it passes extremely close to the star. A complete orbit takes 0.2 days (4.8 hours), so it's easy to land on the surface while the body is farther from the star - and then wait until it reaches periapsis. The planet also experiences a 2.4 hour day, so make sure the star is in view at periapsis. During this time, the jets of the white dwarf light up the sky, producing spectacular sights. Keep in mind the danger, however! As of the time of discovery, 3311. January, this planet is the record holder for the closest approach to a white dwarf star. https://youtu.be/dZvGDGogexI
