Well, I've been immersing myself fully into the exploration aspect of Elite Dangerous and I have been enjoying the game so much. Exploration is a great way to see the beauty of the world that Frontier have created, and it's not too bad for money either!

Space dust in the darkest reaches!

I loved the green hue of this planet that I landed on...

Again, the hues and colours of some of these planets is just amazing!

A white star with solar flare. I watched this bubble and form for quite some time before it subsided again...

Managed to grab a lovely view of one of the asteroid rings from the surface!

I liked the juxtaposition of the moon in the backdrop of this pic and had to grab it!

When you've spent loads of time jumping, you learn to appreciate the colour changes!

I'm fairly new to exploration, but on my travels this was the first time I'd seen a planet like this with rings around it.

More space dust in the farthest reaches!

Earth like world discovered!

Geyser eruption on one of the planets that I visited...

Further away view of the geyser...

That horizon!

The light from space breaking into view from the surface!

You can see the same break in space in this shot. That's my new fleet carrier that I'm using as my base of operations for exploration now that I have it.

Managed to set down in a tight area to scan, and when I returned to my ship I noticed the planet in the distance.
