For my most involved study, I have now made a live tracker for the day/night cycle on Nahla! This will be updated for improved accuracy as I gather more observation data. More updates to be included here: lysander666.github.io/nahla-tracker/ #elitedangerous

Sulphur Run desktop updated to v0.3! 🌕 Now properly HD and fullscreen at last! 🪐 nahla.live/sulphur_run.... #elitedangerous

Nightfall on Nahla 🌕 The nights are getting longer since Nahla is currently in mid-Autumn (just like us here on Earth in the northern hemisphere!) Around two months till the Project Nahla Voyage arrives at its own free pace. We are very happy waiting! #elitedangerous

Track 2 from the upcoming deep space-related electro-industrial / goth concept album "Null Signal" by VELOURA/Velorín. This time with lyrics added in ultra-quirky Openshot (for anyone that's used it)! 🖥️ youtu.be/BA1GjJPSq3w?... #hashtag #stuff #elitedangerous

Something else space-y related. More to come. youtu.be/0eGjXYW3hoU?... #elitedangerous <<< cosmic horror arm

Do you like dim sum? Do you like space?? WELL HAVE I GOT A TREAT FOR YOU! 🥠 As part of the Project Nahla Voyage I'm releasing the (beta) idle game Nahla Diantang, where you can steam dim sum on a fleet carrier! Why? Why not?! And it'll take ages to finish! nahla.live/dimsum.html #elitedangerous

Project Nahla Voyage commences in around 36 hours! If you can, make your way to Pennsylvania - the system in Colonia, not the state! 🌕 #elitedangerous nahla.live/voyage_statu...

Life out here is so beautiful! 🌕 15 months in Hope system and things are still as fascinating as ever around Nahla. Thanks to CMDR B4GER and CMDR Lucifer Satanas for anchoring their fleet carriers here! Such a wonderful and special addition 🍸 #elitedangerous

Some amazing news - our first fleet carrier has arrived in Hope system and is now orbiting Nahla 🌕 The carrier is the Herald Of The Dawn (J7G-0KY) and is owned by CMDR B4GER. If you are anywhere in the vicinity, do please pay us a visit and enjoy a (virtual) drink at the bar! 🍸 #elitedangerous

Nahla Tracker updated to 1.4 - Loads of changes in this version. - hugely improved accuracy of Rebekah rise/set - decoupled Hope from galactic band rotation - enabled Hope rise/set in line with yearly drift - readability improvements on FF/mobile - gallery overhauled #elitedangerous nahla.live

Tonight, Miley's engines pause once again, but this time for a different reason. For now, here on Nahla, we are designating Hypi Bra NW-D C12-18 as "Dolly's Star". Thank you for everything you shared with us <3 #elitedangerous

The response to the upcoming Project Nahla Voyage has been absolutely humbling 🌕 The carrier leaves from Colonia for Nahla on 24th Sept, and then onto Erikson's Star ✨ A 6-12 month relaxed excursion in the deep black! More info here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #elitedangerous

I am very pleased to be able to announce the Project Nahla Open Transit Voyage: this is a multi-month carrier trip that runs from Colonia to Nahla, and then beyond to Erikson's Star ✨ My huge thanks to CMDR Zach Drachenherz! 🌕 More info below! #elitedangerous www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange...

Miley left Nahla and Hope system today for the first time since November, to do a quick trip to TMCV Castus (3k LY away) to sell some cartographic data (and get a new paint job!)... And I ended making Elite in the process! Not a bad trip! Back to Nahla very soon 🌕 #elitedangerous

Someone else made it all the way out here to Nahla and took some fantastic shots! It's absolutely wonderful to see that CMDR JohnMk2 flew 44k LY to see the place and to take some amazing VR photos in their Caspian! Quite humbling 🌕 Thread here: www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange... #elitedangerous

Yazra is on her way to Nahla... probably about 12k ly away currently and stopped here... This is one of the most beautiful horizons I've seen in the game. An ice planet orbiting a class L brown dwarf with a neon atmosphere. Just gorgeous! Had to share🍺 #elitedangerous

Just a shot of the gorgeous sunset here on Nahla... That's all 🥲 Have a good evening, everyone 🍻 #elitedangerous

In a surprise discovery (for me), adding a 16GB SWAP file on Linux means you can up your graphics settings. Before I was using 16GB of RAM, and I had the idea of doubling this with a SWAP file. I had no idea RAM had this effect on graphics! I can now see even better on Nahla 🌕 #elitedangerous

Well, my plan to leave Hope system for a mini break has been put on ice... this system is too beautiful to do that yet! 1. Rebekah backlit by Hope, looking teal green rather than crimson; 2. Báthory; 3. Fumeroles on the moon Ferril; 4. Rayne seen from Ferril's surface at night ✨ #elitedangerous

Thank you so much to the wonderful people at @laveradio.bsky.social for featuring Nahla again on their show yesterday! "I'm waiting for Chris Nolan to turn it into a film!" - well, he did used to work with my Dad, so who knows?! 21 mins in: laveradio.com/lave-radio-e... #elitedangerous

My yearly report after living and studying on Nahla for 12 months is now out 🌕 This report goes into detail on the celestial mechanics of the moon and its system, reveals some surprising discoveries about ED's physics and lists all relevant lore. docs.google.com/document/d/1... #elitedangerous

I am thrilled to say that Nahla Tracker has been featured on the great Lave Radio podcast! They do definitely think it is odd and amusing - but they also called the tracker "beautiful" and "as detailed as one would hope"! 65 mins in: laveradio.com/lave-radio-e... #elitedangerous

The Sulphur Run minigame now has a mobile version!! 🌕 It is called "Sulphur Run: Pâte Sablée Descent" and challenges you to collect 16 Neon Frequency Nodes to build Natalja's Pass Observatory 🔭 Something to celebrate Nahla's New Year! 🎉 More info: inara.cz/elite/cmdr-l... #elitedangerous

After a lot of thought, Yazra has left her Nomad in Colonia. It's just not necessary next to a Cobra Mk V for exploration. Elyanna is back... and we don't HAVE to give up the ships we love. Newer is not always better. Next stop Nahla. Well, following a few distractions, surely! #elitedangerous

Nahla Tracker reaches v1.0! 🌕 The main new feature is the addition of a 555-day calendar for the solar year. This is split into 12 months and calculated from the perihelion 🍻🍒 The tracker is considered feature complete (for now)! Detailed logbook entry: inara.cz/elite/logboo... #elitedangerous

The last anchor for Nahla Tracker has done excellent work! Phase gamma (α-μ) is when the galactic band hits 90 degrees mid-morning 📐 This was the sight bang on when phase beta flipped to gamma today. Big big week for Nahla Tracker coming up too! 🌕 #elitedangerous

My more measured stance on why @frontierdev.bsky.social needs to remove the Nomad bay restrictions in #elitedangerous inara.cz/elite/cmdr-l...

After yesterday's observations here on Nahla, I've come to the conclusion that the movement of the star Hope relative to the galactic band is a prime example of stellar parallax 🌕 This is the first time, to my knowledge, that this has been documented. Log: inara.cz/elite/logboo... #elitedangerous

So, sadly, we say goodbye to my beloved Cobra Elyanna who carried me through my viva and @distantworlds3.bsky.social - she will rest in Jaques with Zell's DBX! Time for Yazra's Krait Mk II to take the stage as we prepare for the Nomad release and my monograph proposal. Onwards 🍻 #elitedangerous

On my way to Colonia to see my Dad's memorial tonight. 150 jumps done today, 177 to go 🍻 The second half of Elyanna's final expedition - my beloved Cobra Mk V for @distantworlds3.bsky.social - now commences 🫡 #elitedangerous
