Elite Dangerous Discovery - The Freakiest Worlds 

Some other cool ones are The World of Death (orbits tightly around a neutron star or white dwarf (forgetting which at the moment), passing through the ejection cones and exclusion zone), and also the colliding worlds that pass through each other a few times each year.

Canyons have been removed until the dev team can figure out a way to make them less interesting.

At Mitterand Hollow, moon lands on YOU :D

I’m loving the 3.0 planets. So much better.

Another beautifully produced video Obsidian, some cracking worlds there.

'Mount Neverest' on a moon in Nervi 3 is also great to visit. It is extremely high, some kilometres in fact and it is great for base jumping in an SRV! Our second meetup was hosted on this planet this very weekend

You should give the locations of the places at the end of the video, absolutley beautiful, I'd love to see these places for myself!

Stopped playing Elite like 2 years ago. But always find myself coming back to Obsidian Ants videos for his great production quality, interesting videos and his smooth AF narration abilities. Keep it up

1:11 Challenge accepted! I've climbed mountains with near 90° angles in my SRV and have made it to the very top of them. I've done it before and I'll do it again!

5:12 WATERMELONE!

New to elite, been playing on and off for a few months, and I just made my first foray outside the Bubble and into the choalsack nebula. It was a fun an interesting trip, almost died lol. Got a little too close for comfort when trying to fuel scoop. Ended up damaging my super cruise assist and assisted landing computer. So as to land at a Stanton the manual way. Actually my first time landing on a station without using a computer to do it for me lol.

I am still amazed by the way planets looks since the update. Magnificent!

Its not necessarily that there isn't many interesting places to visit- its that we haven't explored even 1% of the galaxy

Mitterrand is one of my favourite places. I go there frequently to jump around in the craters.

I usually enjoy how you edit your videos but this one, the shots camera composition was the best in 2 years I've been watching your videos.

Elite really is a beautiful game

I want to thank you so much... finally there's an inspiring combination for the asp ship kit. Lately ive wanted to settle on the asp for regular use.. but there's just something about its hull shape which never satisfies. The raider kit isn't as good as the one on the corvette (which was the first good enough to buy imo) and until now the regular ship kit has looked woeful. Thank you!

thank god you can't make money out of those cause the would be nerfed :P

Every so often, this game shows you why it's worth the grind and that's why I love this beautiful game.

I actually love the appearance on that first planet. Imagine how violent the plate tectonics and such must be to cause such a landscape

Another good video Obsidian, it inspired me to visit Synuefe VM-D c15-10 planet A2. I flew down to the bottom of one of the gorges, 20km deep 300m wide. Unfortunately I couldn't find any stable terrain at the bottom to land on. A real dark and creepy experience. Highly recommended.

Oh, it's just awesome you continue this series dear @ObsidianAnt! Many players (especially the new ones) often aren't aware how many awesome and breathtaking places and moments Elite can provide, so IMHO this video is one of the MUST SHARE IMMEDIATELY ones ;-) Just a little bit of nitpicking: can it be that Mitterand Hollow actually doesn't have a day-night-cycle? From my observations on my last visit, it looked like the moon is locked towards the main light source, and the "night" is actually an eclipse caused by New Africa. ;-) Keep up your wonderful work Mr. Ant!

Landing on Betelgeuse's planets, and the planets of stars like Betelgeuse, certainly looks like a treat. Possibly one of the greatest views in Elite.

Whenever you play elite dangerous do you get a scenes of peace and a hint of intimidation from the universe? How small you are embraced by the infinite

When I scan a system and see the cracks in a planet I get excited and rush over, but the geology is never as extreme as I’d like... that first planet looks awesome! I cannot wait to get out there and discover more!

Man, I wish I had Odyssey.. still rocking Horizons w/ the Xbox

@ 0:42 Reminds me of UV-6 from The Riddick movies, except it was an ice sort of planet.

I am out in the black scanning planets that have never been discovered and then mapping some of the interesting ones. If I land on one of these planets does the generation system have a chance of placing alien artifacts or guardian ruins or anything of a constructed nature?

Seems you got to the far lands CMDR well done!

I bet sitting on Mitterand Hollow in VR would give you seasick...or Earth sick ? Moon Sick...? Satellite sick ? Witch one would it be ?

Are we able to make suggestions? It would be really cool to see our planets in your videos. There's a beautiful system I have discovered on my way to colonia, and I'll put it in comments if you'd like.

omg i came by this video by chance by getting it in my recommended and now i really want to visit the second one. boy do i hope it still exists

Cmdr. Obsidian Ant : Another Fine Video ! Thank you for sharing another delightful show of never before seen planets. I appreciate your video's and the time you take to make them and share them :-)

Well done, as usual, Ant. The Camera Suite work gets better and better. Beautiful shot at 3:29.

This video brought to you by the ObsidianAnt Tourism Board for Elite Dangerous.

I like this game and I consider my self kinda of lucky to have join just before the odyssey’s uodate. Even though I have lost a lot of founding moment on elite I kinda see things differently of old players wich they tent to see the game with different eye then new players. I love this game and I don’t want to Grow tired of it. There is so much out there for me yet!!!

It was eroded by fully semi-automatic ancient rivers

You know I usually use my kitted out DBX for quick missions and to buy other ships, but this video just got me really interested in sight seeing.

I recently discovered two great ones past the galactic center. One system is a neutron star and I think it's a red dwarf, tightly orbiting each other. There are two planets very near that have spectacular views of both. I also found two ice planets with rings orbiting each other, and you can land on one. It's a pretty view. There is some amazing stuff in this game if you take the time to look. I keep hoping I'll find a massive Earth-like planet, but I'm beginning to think they didn't put that in this game.

VY Canis Majoris is quite the sight to behold!

Your voice is perfect for these types of videos!

i remember approaching that planet for the first time and seeing the moon whizz by....scared the life out of me. this game in VR already scares me lol with the scale! call me a whimp sure but its such a humbling experience!

The mist makes it seem like there's an atmosphere, eh? jfc

Planets from the game Captain Blood, actually ;)

If they're still there next month in Odyssey, I'm totally going to base jump those canyons with my space legs. 😎

The first planet looks like straight out of the 80s game Captain Blood. Cool.

The reason why you’re no longer in scooping range is because the planets orbit. If you look, it is pretty elliptical. So it has moved outside of the scoop range

There is a water ice planet you can land on in Lambda 1 next to Cubeo, and it’s the only landable and geologically active planet in the system it’s amazing

Missed your discovery videos thank you for bringing back

If you fall into one of those canyons and get stuck call the King Fishers. We'll come get you out.

Great video and showcase for some stunning looking planets.

Im planning expeditions in my DBX to planets featured in various youtube channels to document the changes that have taken place from 2.4 to 3.0. I'm hoping for some very interesting results, what with the changes made to rocky, metal rich and high metal content planets.

That moon is a great mistake they must keep. I love it because it gives players a cool location that is definitely unique to say the least 😂 can't wait to try land on it

And then to think there is sooooo much more to be discovered

That was a really cool shot of the ship taking off.

Feels like real discovery or national geographic channel

I can't wait to get enough credit so I can go exploring 👌😎

I have no urge to explore but I do enjoy the shots.

One thing I hated about EVE Online, was the sameness of the background (with a brownish tinge) and basically a handful of planets, rearranged slightly from system to system, varying numbers, but always the same appearance, and never could even get a closer look.

I'm considering forgeting all the games I have just to play only this game.

The rarity is what makes them so special To quote the incredibles "if everyone is super, no one will be"

Great video as always bro. It was watching your videos that made me go buy Elite Dangerous. Thank you!

Gorgeous video there Mr Ant. Thank you

Now to lose my SRV in those hellishly deep canyons. I was stuck at the base of Pomeche 2C for almost 3 days before I was able to finally get my ass out.

I need to do these in VR asap. Time to refit a Keelback with an Imperial Fighter and do some canyon runs!

I was just at Mitterland Hollow, and I thought, the game is glitching, and I just found this vid.

I wish you would but a list of the planets and systems you show in your videos, down in the description. Great video.

I suspect the planet that was close to the star was perhaps at perihelion when you were able to scoop fuel, unless ED doesn't use elliptical orbits, and this time you were closer to aphelion.

that end song was perfect!

0:23 Can't wait to experience this planet in Odyssey.

My friend(not really anymore) screamed at me to watch this video. I hope it's good, since it just cost me a friendship.

It probably won't look anything like that on my PC... What are your tips for better graphics please?

It's a real shame that explorable planets in elite don't have more greatly exaggerate features like in this video, landing on a baron featureless moon can only provide so much entertainment, one thing I've always wanted to do in elite would be to explore the debris field of 2 recently collided planets, or actually whiteness a black hole consuming the gasses of a nearby star, unfortunately the game doesn't simulate either of those things

Great video man! Can you please let me know the name of the track at the end? Thanks

What is the green planet? It looks amazing and worth a visit

I landed at Synuefe VM-D C15-10 2 A in Xbox Elite, my game crashed and haven't been able to log in since. 👍

This video shows the real reason why people still play Elite Dangerous. Not the engineering or power play, but pure and simple discovery. Shame that Frontier doesn't seem to grasp the hint and instead choose to get rid of such amazing places in favor of adding drones and thargoid killing weapons. Like that one station that would pass through the planet's ring every so often. Or that moon that you could warp through while you were among the planet's rings.

how come you're not using Anaconda for exploration? I have 76ly range on my conda, paired with 6A fuel scoop, exploration is so much faster. I can get across 1000ly in just few minutes.

Can you put the planet names of those you featured in the end? Thanks

I'm much the same. I prefer getting the resources I need in ring systems. They have much more variety and a much larger quantity too

i went to the first planet, synuefe 2a... it was a total disappointment. the mountains and canyons where there, but the planet was completely dark. and yes, i was in the star side, but it was like it was too far away and no light could reach the planet

1/ Defying the Laws of Gravity 2/ Bet You Gleese 3/ Give it a speeding ticket

Blue light accelerates retinal aging, just saying, that's why elite is in orange, warm colors. And yes i also love blue color, but i change it for the better of my eyes.

thanks for the best part of Elite, watching others explore :-)

I was just at a planet that had mountains over 30km tall. First time I've seen them that high. Took some screenshots while perched on top of one.

Let's see if this planet is still this crazy in Odyssey

I went the very next day after seeing Yamiks video. Had to get all my screenshots 😎

It seems as if you naturally repeat certain phrases multiple times in a sentence or series of sentences. Very interesting.

I tried this game recently, and I have to say, the controls are atrocious. I'm going to have to re-map EVERYthing, after figuring out how it works in the first place.

4:12 my brain was so confused. What's the orbital speed of this moon? It feels weird and wrong, not simply in terms of the distance from the planet, but the orbital speed as well. For something at that distance, it feels like it should be way slower than that.

I wish i knew you could land on that fast moving planet. I gave up the mission a few years back because i didn't think it was possible. I tried 😊

you should go check out skardee, it has 3 planets that orbit less that 3 light seconds away from the star.

Uuuuh... Is it normal that i can't go in the Synuefe one? I've tried just now, the ship doesn't engage glide, just drops from supercruise, and if i try to go down at normal speed the computer tells me i need a permit... And since i don't want trouble i leaved.

0:00 when someone gets a bit crazy with the landscaping tool in sim city

So glad to see the end of the Beige Plague.

If they were common, they wouldn't be unusual!

Fantastic video, these 3 are now on my list :)

Imagine showing this video to someone from the 1900s without any context

Putting the explorer in the asp explorer I see.

love the music and the editing :-) keep up the amazing videos :-)
