Oolite Bulletins

Yes indeed.

I was trying to imagine what the night sky would look like, if you were stood on a planet orbiting one of those stars.
(Not likely, I know... the wrong type of star, and a very harsh locality, radiation-wise.)

At an estimated age of only 4 million years you're going to have to wait a few more before some balls of rock have coalesced into something substantive to actually stand on!

Yeah... and as in Nightfall, there probably wouldn't be a 'night sky', either.

Would be nice to have non-Galcop stars/systems in interstellar (mis-jump) space (and therefore not actually interstellar I know) to replicate some of these beautiful nebulas and star clusters - just from a purely tourist point of view...

When you think of the vastness and disparity of space there is a lack of touristy places to visit, OK we have Tionisla and Tianve, and of course Pagrooves famous planets, but I guess you would expect to see more "touristy places". Perhaps Bill Bryson could do a book on them!

I think there are quite a number of planets with references to tourism in their F7-descriptions. So I'd say it's a fairly common phenomenon in Oolite.
