SUMMARY
Three close black holes generate anomalous lensing effects.Three close black holes generate anomalous lensing effects.
DESCRIPTION

This system houses four black holes, and the highlight is that three of them are close enough to each other that spectacular gravitational lensing effects occur.

These are the B, C, D stars, roughly 130 kls away from the system's primary. Eight dwarf stars orbit the shared barycenter of this trio. However, the complex interplay of lensing effects of the three black holes somehow amplifies light to such a degree that the Dandelion Anomaly can shine even brighter from the surfaces of the nearby bodies than the dwarf stars do.

For example, compare these two images, shot at the same site (on A 2 a):

The lensing effects it generates, combined with the star density of the surrounding volume of space, can produce good views throughout the system.

There are numerous landable bodies here, from which explorers can observe the black holes. There is even some surface life to be found: Stratum Paleas on the BCD 5 f moon, as well as Bacterium Informem on three other bodies.
