SUMMARY
Very close to Dr. Kay's Heart, this 20,467 KM landable is perhaps the largest walkable currently known. Visitors should beware of scorching temperatures and high gravity both.Very close to Dr. Kay's Heart, this 20,467 KM landable is perhaps the largest walkable currently known.

DESCRIPTION

Day

With an average temperature of 590 K at night and 1,152 K on the day, this world is constantly bombarded with radiation from its parent neutron star. Thus, it is recommended to disembark on the night side, to avoid the unsafe temperatures of the day side. Even thought it is possible to disembark on the latter, it is not suggested to do so, as current suit technology can't handle temperatures this high without suffering heat damage.

night side

Commanders who follow safety precautions will be rewarded with a stunning view of Dr. Kay's Heart.

Planet view

Visitors are advised to be careful while walking around this planet, as the high temperatures aren't the only threat here: the high surface gravity itself should also not be underestimated. Doing so can lead to dangerous falls, even getting trapped if one is unlucky. In the worst possible scenario, a false move while climbing can lead to a lethal fall: while Commanders might be accustomed to using their suit's thrusters to soften landing, current suit technology can barely beat the gravity of this planet.

system map

On another interesting note, this is the only planet in the system, and perhaps the largest body found orbiting a Neutron Star.
