It doesn't/shouldn't reach that far, right?</div>

I came across one of those Class Y stars which are supposedly just &quot;very large gas giant planets&quot;. It just looked like a glowing gas giant. I read the description in the system map. It said something about how its surface temperature is &quot;only 700K&quot;. I thought damn, only 700 degrees Kelvin? That's like, roughly 500 degrees F, give or take a few hundred degrees.<br /> <br /> So I went in to take a closer look at what I had discovered. Before I could get really close, it dropped me out of supercruise. Keep in mind that I was still a good distance away from this thing. My ship started heating up. Now the Type 7 isn't exactly known for being resilient to overheating, but this is a 700K celestial body from SEVERAL LIGHT SECONDS away. I thought &quot;ONLY 700 DEGREES KELVIN MY ASS!!&quot;.<br /> <br /> So I disabled my guns, fuel scoop and all the other stuff I wasn't using, This didn't help my overheating much. I then disabled everything except life support, thrusters and FSD. This helped a little bit but I was still burning up to my death. As a last resort, I disabled life support as I was attempting to jump away.<br /> <br /> I escaped with like 240% overheating.<br /> <br /> IRL Venus is hotter than that star (if you can even call it that) and it doesn't burn stuff up until you land on it. So I think that that's 700K Kelvin. Not 700K which looks like &quot;700 degrees Kelvin&quot;.<br /> <br /> tl;dr: I got too close to a class Y star and almost died and it's probably hotter than 700 degrees Kelvin.</div>
