Try to visit Munich one day. Get to the Augsburg orbital colony there and get to a position so you have both the gas giant and the augsburg colony in view. The tripple stars surround and illuminate the station there.....
Omicron-85 is awesome, but only if you look straight up. What used to be just a pretty background can now be flown into (how was this accomplished?)... though I haven't tried that yet.
You mean the black hole? It's an object. Like a sun. That swirls. And explodes things. They just took the idea behind the vanilla spacescapes and said, "Hey! Let's do it". Hence the black hole becoming reality.
I actually think the blackhole was originally designed to be put in the western area of Texas, a bit west of the California jumphole, but as with many things, it wasn't actually written into the game when it was released.
Hmm, Okinawa, Shikoku. Probably others but too tired to think about them right now, plus I haven't gone through quite a few of the new areas yet. I do like Champagne also.
