I doubt many Astroneers/Astronomers believed one could find a terrestrial planet, teeming with life, at the edge of a solar system, but that's where we find ourselves. A Super-Giant star at the center, obviously. It still fits the designated parameters of planets capable of sustaining life: large bodies of water involved in the planet's hydrologic cycle of evaporation and condensation, leading to periodic rainfall that vitalizes vegetation. Plate tectonic shifts are subtle enough to not be easily measured, but meteorological phenomena are quite common. The star is constantly bombarding the planet's magnetosphere, producing an ever-persistant aurora.
Remote analysis complete, commencing surface analysis.
The ship caught the orbit of the planet, but our calculations predict that our ship will be flung from it's orbit towards the star in this system if we do not abandon ship. We will continue our work, build a new ship, and get off this giant rock.
