Sagittariuss A* - 9 explorers

Sagittarius A* - 9 explorers

CMDR Charybdis · 2015-06-14T13:23:53+00:00

To say that Sagittarius A* might have become a tourist spot is probably something of an understatement! Commanders from the G+ community have decided to make the trip out after two planned to start on the same day (but didn't know about each other), and two more decided to spontaneously join in. It has since grown to 9 pilots who are making the trip. We're keeping a loose formation within the route with the intent to arrive at the destination in the same session. Some have started further behind than others, but work and life commitments mean this isn't a Buckyball race. We do keep going in TeamSpeak and make this a social trip as well. As I already run a character blog about the Elite universe I've naturally started to write about the trip. The call of the wild Day 2: Onward Day 3: Paw of the Cat Day 4: The 3 ages of man Day 5: Sun flare Day 6: Not a drop Day 7: A waterfall of stars Day 8: Out of the blue Day 9: Boxing clever Day 10: Escaping the sea of rocks Day 11: The double scoop Day 12: Eaten by the Great Annihilator Day 12: Slàinte mhath! The Three Graces Roll up, Roll up! The Pillars of Creation The littlest nebula The escort home Exploration promotion - data analysis Although the writing will vary depending on the sources of inspiration that I find on the journey, I'll also post up pictures and videos along the way also. Here's an example on the approach to NGC 6357 and the pattern of stars that sit in front of the nebulae. The bright points of hot class A and O stars come to the fore. A constellation obscured by distance and the bright background now takes prominence in the sky. Our ancestors created shapes in the stars and worshipped them, told stories of great acts of bravery that placed heroes and symbols in the sky to watch over them. For a moment's indulgence between jumps I try and imagine a story behind this configuration of stars. A brave young man, spear held high, ready to slay an implacable foe. Jump. Moving clear of the bright star and locating the constellation again, it has become a stalwart mature hunter carrying provisions home to family. Jump. An old man hunched over and relying on a walking stick. Revered in wisdom and experience. Shaking my head clears the picture from my mind as the journey of 60 light years has distorted the formation of the stars beyond recognition. The old superstitions surrounding the configuration of the stars are long gone. It is difficult to worship the stars when you wander among them, and much has fallen to the wayside because it could only be seen from the single viewpoint of Sol, our origin system. An awe still remains though: of the true scale unknown and un-knowable. Fears and superstitions of another kind now live out here amongst the stars. I'll come back to this thread to update the blog entries. Enjoy!
