This Black Hole Left Me Speechless... | Elite Dangerous

[00:00:00]It's the second day of the journey and today I am on the way to get some tritium for the fleet carrier because we have to do a 5,000 4,000 light years jump session to the next stop, which is stop one. And stop one will be the Koi 1705 01 system with a landable planet that is 40 sevens which is absolutely bonkers and I can't wait to check that out. So super cool that you guys really want to join me on this. We have six other commanders right now on board joining the expedition which is really cool and we've been waiting here for a while. Maybe there's even more people on board. Honestly, I don't know but we've been here for a few days now and we are about to leave. But first we're going to gather some more exobiology data. We're going to do some more exploration outside of the fleet carrier with the Beluga. So let's get right into that. Not too long after I found this really cool looking planet. It had some biological markers and they might have already been taken. I'm not entirely sure but I figured I might as well scan these and take them with me. They're pretty easy to find and this is a really nice planet to check out.

[00:01:22]But I'm on my way to this nebula.

[00:01:24]All right, now we're almost to that little nebula over there. So there's supposed to be a whole bunch of black holes which is super interesting. I can't wait to to check those out. So just a few more jumps. All right, so I found this little planet here on the way there. I just had to check it out. It has very low G. It's a very small planet.

[00:01:46]Might even be a moon actually. It is a moon. It's a moon of a planet.

[00:01:52]And how big is this thing? 900 km radius which is very small. I think our moon in real life is 3,000, so that kind of gives you the idea. It's three times as small.

[00:02:04]Uh, I might be wrong there, actually.

[00:02:07]But, we have a bacterium electrica and fonticula. Here's the thing, I've never seen an electrica.

[00:02:13]So, the diameter of the moon is actually 3,400 km, so it's even it's even bigger than I thought. So, uh, yeah.

[00:02:23]So, electrica, that's pretty cool.

[00:02:26]Let's check those out.

[00:02:30]I'm wondering about those.

[00:02:33]So, let's drop the Nomad.

[00:02:39]Oh.

[00:02:40]There we go.

[00:02:54]Woo.

[00:02:56]I think I already saw the electrica.

[00:03:01]Right down there. Or is that fonticula?

[00:03:05]I think that's fonticula, actually.

[00:03:09]Might be wrong.

[00:03:11]No, that's definitely something new.

[00:03:13]I've never seen these before.

[00:03:16]That is really fun.

[00:03:24]Oh.

[00:03:25]They They look like the plants that guardians would I don't know. They look like guardian plants.

[00:03:34]All right.

[00:03:36]Look at that.

[00:03:42]That's really cool.

[00:03:45]Like it has like a shield around it.

[00:03:47]It's a really weird plant.

[00:03:51]Like I said, I've never seen these before, so this is very cool. Let me just take a screenshot of this real quick.

[00:04:02]All right. And Funticola right there.

[00:04:04]So, we So, let's take the electric and Funticola and then we'll be on our way to the black holes.

[00:04:12]It's cool about this design is that it's like they come from under the ground, obviously, but like with such force, it's almost seems like they are way bigger underground than what we're seeing.

[00:04:26]Now, we can't really figure that out, but that would be really cool if we could.

[00:04:33]Oh, yeah.

[00:04:35]All right, we're really close to the nebula now. We're basically in it.

[00:04:38]And uh that system over there, S17141, should be a system with a black hole, uh which uh is going to be very interesting because those are just really cool. Uh and uh but these are all very small black holes. All of these stars essentially uh have small black holes in them. Um or it's a sun that has a black hole orbiting it, which is pretty cool.

[00:05:07]So, let's see what we're going to see here.

[00:05:15]All right. So, for now, this is just a very, very, very bright star, like my god.

[00:05:22]And this is the system So, this is it.

[00:05:24]This is the star.

[00:05:27]Uh the most luminous massive main sequence stars.

[00:05:34]Wow.

[00:05:36]Really cool.

[00:05:37]So, this one does not have a black hole.

[00:05:39]My bad.

[00:05:40]Uh hold up.

[00:05:43]Others will though. So, for example, this one.

[00:05:47]Star types. Yeah, so this one does have a black hole. So I I just literally selected one and the one that didn't have a black hole. So let's find this one. Uh let's actually pop a heat sink here.

[00:06:02]Why is it deactivated?

[00:06:07]Hold up.

[00:06:11]Bring my heat sink.

[00:06:14]My heat sink's broken because of heat damage, which is a little bit uh >> [laughter] >> ironic. All right, we're good. We're good.

[00:06:30]That's a down downside of the blue giant. It overheats pretty fast.

[00:06:34]It's not meant to uh to do these kind of things, you know, fly next to the sun and immediately jump.

[00:06:41]But uh it'll do. It'll do.

[00:06:48]All right, this system should have a black hole.

[00:06:52]It's also a super red star.

[00:06:56]Really cool.

[00:07:02]All right.

[00:07:09]It takes a while, this.

[00:07:14]There we go.

[00:07:16]Super red star, here we are.

[00:07:20]Black hole.

[00:07:22]There we go.

[00:07:24]So we got the really bright star and then we have a black hole orbiting it, which is really awesome.

[00:07:35]All right, and the black hole is on the other side, so let's let's fly around this absolutely massive unit of a star.

[00:07:46]And it should be just around this corner here.

[00:07:55]Except it's way further away.

[00:07:58]I must say though this part of the galaxy feels like one of the more weirder parts.

[00:08:03]You know, you have all these extremely bright stars, very bright background, black holes, and nothing in between.

[00:08:14]There's literally nothing here except weird business.

[00:08:20]Um really cool place though.

[00:08:23]And I will go to this black hole because I want to see it from close.

[00:08:30]Um so let's use I don't know how long this is going to take though.

[00:08:38]I got I'm done.

[00:08:43]Oh my god.

[00:08:56]All right, we made it quite we made it more than halfway there. I think this >> [laughter] >> We lost half of our fuel too. So this is like a really small black hole.

[00:09:14]As you can see, that's the cool thing about the about the black hole here.

[00:09:21]It it So I'm going to try to get as close as I can.

[00:09:25]I I need to be careful here.

[00:09:29]The cool thing about this is it just it just it's like a it's like a reverse mirror.

[00:09:35]You know, it it it reflects all the light behind it, puts it in front of it.

[00:09:39]It's like this thing that just distorts light.

[00:09:44]It's you know, it's [snorts] not actually black at all. It's just a thing that distorts light.

[00:09:50]And you can kind of use it like some kind of weird reversed glass.

[00:09:57]Almost.

[00:10:00]You can You can put it in front of stuff and then see them warp around it.

[00:10:06]For some reason I'm I can see the star through it.

[00:10:11]Which I don't know how that would work.

[00:10:21]Oh my god.

[00:10:26]Oh, this is trippy.

[00:10:33]Oh, this is really [ __ ] trippy.

[00:10:38]Oh my god.

[00:10:51]Oh [ __ ] What the hell?

[00:11:01]Did I go into the event horizon there for a second?

[00:11:11]Oh my god. That's actually Dude. Cuz I couldn't stop.

[00:11:25]Wait, okay. We're good. You know, we're defying physics here regardless of what we do. But it's it's like it's like a giant wall.

[00:11:34]I really wonder how they how they made this in Elite. I'm so flabbergasted by this. It's like a giant wall that you're like you're getting close to.

[00:11:46]And then it becomes like this wall of the surrounding stuff.

[00:11:50]If that makes sense, I don't know. Does that make sense at all? None of this makes [ __ ] sense, does it?

[00:11:55]Look at this.

[00:11:59]Dude, what?

[00:12:06]What?

[00:12:10]Look at this.

[00:12:16]Okay.

[00:12:20]How close can we go?

[00:12:25]How close can we go and then just like jump out of frame shift drive?

[00:12:30]Can we go to 200 km and then jump out of frame shift drive? See what happens. I might lose all my stuff here, but 200?

[00:12:53]Okay.

[00:13:03]Oh my lord.

[00:13:06]>> [laughter] >> The interesting though, we could technically totally fly into it right now.

[00:13:21]And I would I'm actually I actually really really really really really want to know what happens.

[00:13:27]Let's fly into it with the Nomad. That's what we got it for.

[00:13:39]Okay.

[00:13:40]So, what we're going to do.

[00:13:43]All right.

[00:13:44]Let's uh put our ship in safe mode.

[00:13:49]Let's get rid of our ship here.

[00:13:53]>> Ship dismissed.

[00:13:59]>> All right.

[00:14:11]All right.

[00:14:12]Blue liner's gone.

[00:14:15]Now, it's just me and my Nomad.

[00:14:19]Entering a freaking black hole, dude.

[00:14:26]I don't have any contacts or I actually don't know how close it is.

[00:14:30]It's 120 km. It's going to take quite a while to get there, but I'm going to try. I'm going to keep the video on.

[00:14:38]Really just wonder what's going to happen.

[00:14:43]Oh.

[00:14:46]I'm now in a body exclusion zone.

[00:14:51]Is this the event horizon?

[00:15:01]Weird stuff's happening.

[00:15:03]I know.

[00:15:09]I'm still moving forward.

[00:15:12]Body exclusion zone hit.

[00:15:22]I think it's not letting me go further.

[00:15:30]Yeah.

[00:15:36]Even though I'm still What does that mean?

[00:15:49]Okay. I think I actually can get it in there.

[00:15:54]>> Ship recalled.

[00:15:55]>> Let's recall the ship see what actually is happening cuz Oh my god. It's right here.

[00:16:08]It's weird.

[00:16:13]Yeah, it's it's not letting me go further cuz I cannot actually dock my ship.

[00:16:19]I can't dock my ship either. See?

[00:16:23]It still says I have to speed though which is weird.

[00:16:28]I don't know if I can maybe dock like this.

[00:16:33]Should be able to.

[00:16:41]What the What's going on?

[00:16:46]What in the What's going on here?

[00:16:50]I get it.

[00:16:53]Yeah, I I I can't go further.

[00:16:56]Which too bad. I'm going to try anyway.

[00:17:05]Okay.

[00:17:10]Yeah, see? I I can't go further.

[00:17:12]All right.

[00:17:13]Unfortunate. This is super trippy though. Let's get the hell away from here.

[00:17:19]Let's let's make it follow me a bit so I can actually talk.

[00:17:23]Okay, that's cool, dude. Black holes.

[00:17:26]All right. Well, I'm about to fly with my Nomad into a black hole. It's about 100 km away. I don't actually know how much because the last time my ship was here, we saw it was 120 km away. So, actually I'm not I'm not sure if I can make it there.

[00:17:44]Uh we've been flying for few minutes now.

[00:17:48]Uh we should make it, though.

[00:17:50]In a bit. I didn't want to get any closer with my big ship because I'm not sure what's you know, what's going to happen if I actually go through it. If If If I die, which would seem logical, then you know, it's I I would lose everything.

[00:18:07]This way, I will still lose my bio my actual bio, but I can just respond to my ship.

[00:18:13]Um I have enough fuel, I think.

[00:18:21]I'm just not sure.

[00:18:24]I'm getting closer, though.

[00:18:25]It's getting bigger.

[00:18:40]>> [snorts] >> All right.

[00:18:42]Perfect.

[00:18:43]Well, I guess that was this episode, guys.

[00:18:47]Weird black holes.

[00:18:49]Uh I hope you guys enjoyed. Um we are going to make it back to the fleet carrier, and then we are Yeah, we're not here, by the way, for anyone who wants to check out this black hole.

[00:19:01]It's pretty close to to the bubble. Uh 2,600 700 light-years, something like that. So, we're going back to our uh fleet carrier. Uh it's fully fully fueled. So, within I don't know, a few days, I'm going to to fly away again. I think on Tuesday, so I think a day after I upload this video actually.

[00:19:26]So, hope you guys enjoyed this episode and yeah, I'll see you guys in the next one. Cheers.
