[@Doomguy-777]

That planet wouldn't normally exist at that point. It would have been torn apart by the star's gravity and beyond massive energy output. The laws of physics here would start to not compute very well. Even from a way bigger distance, if our solar system was near one of those, it would be quite a problem. The thing is, neutron stars are apparently quite common despite the difficulty to find those and observe it. Apparently, we can't even see these beautiful yet dangerous rays emanating from the poles like that.

Me and Neptune are kinda like Earth and Venus because we look like we are the same size but we are not

Most of the things we see in that game are better to see only in it, they are too deadly and maddening for real(even if we had tecnology to protect us from them), i thought about that when mining alone in an asteroid belt somewhere in the middle of nowhere!The sensation is crazy even if is just a game!

With this game, we can live an experience we know we never could without it. This game is just so incredible. I found a system last night, way out past the galactic center, where you could land on two different planets and have a spectacular close up view of a neutron star right next to a red dwarf. There is just so many amazing things to find in this game.
