Description: Monde de la Mort (World of Death) is a small landable metal-rich world in extremely close orbit of a white dwarf. The world has an elliptical orbit which is 2.5 light-seconds at maximum and a terrifying 0.06 light-seconds at closest approach to the star. The orbit takes approximately one hour. Landing on this planet is extremely hazardous: it can only be approached when it is outside the exclusion zone for the white dwarf, and getting caught in the jet of the white dwarf is possible. Explorers aiming to reach the surface have a narrow window during which they can land. The heat from the star is also significant, and managing ship heat levels must be considered when landing. Finally, the planet will pass through the jets of white dwarf over the course of the one-hour orbit. After all this, those managing to land will see astonishing views of the white dwarf from close range. | |

The orbital period is 0.1 days, or 2.4 hours, which is about 2 hours and 24 minutes, though in reality it seems slightly longer. You should land when the planet exits the exclusion zone, but only before it enters the jets; otherwise, they'll fry your ship when you drop out of supercruise. On the surface, when the planet passes through the jets, you should stay outside your ship the whole time (preferably in an SRV), or it will be fried rapidly. The cockpit would hold up for about a minute or so. Surface temperature is about 500–1100 K. It's safe to go outside, but when the temperature rises above 700 K, it starts to hurt you. You can safely leave the planet when your location is outside the jets. If you try to lift off while the planet is still in the exclusion zone, your ship will be bumped out safely — unless you're in the jets. [Edited: 2024-11-03 10:33:59] | |||

I've been here twice, and somewhere around here I've got a recording of the passage through the death zone in Odyssey. I was fine in my SRV, but I was scared to leave. I'm not sure if my commander would be microwaved to death. The lensing is quite intense. If you're near the bridge between Colonia and Sag A*, go a bit off course and give this a view. You won't regret it. | |||||||||||

This was the single most amazing ED experience I've ever had, hands-down, bar none, etc, etc. I can't imagine it ever being matched. It still takes my breath away just thinking about it.
