It definitely isn't EVE gate, as it is visible from every system (that i've been to anyway) it has to be something from outside our galaxy Judging by it's brightness and size i can only imagine it is possibly a star going nova (a long time ago)
Where's patrick moore when you need him?
You know, the whole galaxy shouldn't see it then..

I think it's the fabled Drone Retirement Home, where all the drones that can no longer be used, or that have been killed due to the shield recharge change, go to die, and relive happy memories of when they were useful ;-)
More to the point, it seems to me to be in the wrong direction for the EVE gate - about 90 degrees off from my part of space.

The word around the IRC Watercooler is that this is a new star, called "The Bootini Star".

Surely you would be able to warp lock onto them if that was the case?
Binary pairs can be significant distances apart from each other and still be considered binary.
The largest across system warp I've ever done (between gates at least, has been 150AU roughly. Its estimated that our own real life solar system is about 80 AU across (to an average of pluto's orbit). The Ort Cloud is somewhere between 50 to 150 AU out from the Sun.
A binary star can be as close as 11AU from each other, and even as far as .15 Light Years, depending on how you define it.
Read about the Alpha Centauri Cluster of stars.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Centauri
If the written history is taken seriously, then yeah, this is most likely the binary pair of the main star in each system in eve.
That being said, I wish we could prove a consistent position in the sky that suggests something else is going on... something more interesting then just the physics of jumpgates ;)

I'm in the far North-North-East of the map, system ETXT to be exact. From my vantage, there are NO stars in line with it, at least within the normal Eve galaxy.
It does, however, do a very good job of aligning to the very last Jove star. Like, an incredibly perfect alignment.
If anyone wants to start triangulating, you can draw a line between the northern-most Jove star and ETXT.

If that's a star going supernova, lets say it's one billion lightyears from EVE...that means the star died a billion years ago and the light is just now reaching our place in the universe. Even getting there now in FTL ships would mean that whatever caused the event is so far back in history that it's practically irrelevant now.
Sorry.

Your all wrong in what you think it is.
I think you will find the its the buring remains of my rather large ship and all its very expescive cargo up their in IRON
Keep meaning to pop up and put out the flames. sorry to cause so much speculation.

If this is CCP's way of saying "Hey' we're opening Jove space soon", I'm quitting this game.
Jove should not be released to players. Things get well beyond OP if it does. Just look at WoW's "epic" items...

I believe the '2nd star in a binary system' option is the correct one.

Its a very bright star that can be seen from everywhere in the eve cluster. My first hypothesis would be a supernovae.
My second would be a graphic glitch :)

It can't be a "2nd Star" as it is present in every system. A star in any single system would be obvious as you approach that system and blatant when you are in the system in question.
If it's a glitch why go through the extra effort to put it in line with the Jove systems, obviously out and away from anything else and pulsing/twinkling. It's got to be coded and therefor put there for a reason.

You realize, that at 10,088 m/s forever, it will take you 171.6354414 days to fly 1 AU?
Any any celestial object that has no noticeable parallax (everybody sees it at 45¦) from anywhere in a galaxy reputed to be 5000 AU across is basically infinitely far away.
Sorry if you were kidding, but I couldn't resist getting all nerdy, introducing startling facts and flaunting my epeen.

The star is both obvious and blatant. All systems in eve are binary systems according to the prime fiction, so it makes sense.

From Citadel around Paara, it looks to be southwest (more west than south), not north. In Paara, you can already see the binary star off toward the Muvolailen gate and this new thing in the sky is more or less in the opposite direction from it.
