The blue rings seen around planets and moons as you approach them during supercruise are just scaled up indicators of the planets radius. So the first one you see might be 1000 x bigger than the radius of the planet so when you approach it you can get a sense of getting closer as it grows in size (it's not actually moving or growing, it's just you getting closer). Once you get close enough it fades away and you see a ring that like 500 x bigger than the planet and so on. They're just there to show how you are approaching the planet when it's too small to see. | |||
