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.

 
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. Bear in mind that days on the planet are only 2.4 hours long, so make sure the star is visible from your location 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.
