Summary:

Twin neutron stars in a close orbit, only 1 ls apart.

 
Description:

Nestled 1,100 light years above the galactic center, less than 90 light years from the Ring of Fire tourist beacon, the Horseman's Fiery Reins is a stellar spectacle boasting two fast-spinning neutron stars, their mesmerizing dance unfolding just one light-second apart.

Twin neutron stars behind each other

As explorers approach the drop point (itself a 20,000 ls distance from the arrival point in the system), a 2.6 solar masses black hole serves as the gravitational anchor. The rapid rotation of the neutron stars paints streaks of light across the celestial canvas, creating a captivating symphony of gravitational forces.
