I'm guessing this is from an addon but I've added several at once and am not sure what it is. Can someone identify this?
Thanks!

A single distant q-mine explosion?

Looks more like a wormhole to me!

They're left in the wake of a ship jumping out of the system, and if you enter the wormhole, you can follow that ship to another solar system, without using any fuel...

Yeah, wormhole. The blue 'lollypop' on the scanner gave it away...

BTW, did you want a small, cute and fluffy friend to relieve the stresses and strains of interstellar travels? Only Cr30...

1.73.4 has a new piece of equipment, the wormhole scanner ... you can target a wormhole and find out where it's going.
