CCP’s creation, “The Scope” program from Galactic News Network, is back. After many reports on events leading to the faction war and incursions, Scope reporting picks up with the Caroline’s Star celestial phenomenon. CCP uses the video broadcasts to disseminate ingame back-story information in an immersive CNN style of news program.
As originally reported on Intergalactic Summit forums, in November of last year:
Diana Kim 2014-11-27: Celestial phenomenon: Caroline’s Star (The Bright Star)
Two days ago Brigadier General Odo Korachi has reported unusual Sansha activity in Oasa region, and the next day capsuleer explorer Caroline Grace ventured there to investigate Nation’s activity.
Yesterday about 1830 time explorer Caroline Grace has reported an unusual celestial object into Intergalactic Summit NeoCom conference, and at 1957 UTC she has reported it in this forum here
This celestial object has a distinguishable feature: its flares mostly directed in vertical plane, while lens flares for suns and other bright objects are dominantly in horizontal plane.
Caroline Grace has made a camera shot, where the object’s flares don’t turn together with camera, like lens flares of other object (proof goes here).
This object was also found in New Eden system (as reported by Jaret Victorian).
Many other capsuleers were observing this object from numerous systems in our cluster.
Analyzing this, we can make following conclusions:
1) The flares of the object aren’t lens effect, but properties of the object, which make it look like either an active black hole consuming matter with relativistic jets from poles (vertical flares) and accretion disk (horizontal flares), or supernova
2) The supernova hypothesis is barely confirmable, as the object have been seen through very distant systems (our cluster is about 100 light years in size), thus if it was a supernova, it would be observed from different systems at different stages, but pictures from all the system are identical, which means that the celestial object Caroline’s star maintains this form for at least 100 years. Black holes can consume matter for even longer periods of time.
3) The object is in fact quite old (about 100 years – if it is visible from all systems in our cluster), and is probably the same one, as has been referenced by Lieutenant Samira Kernher here
