S2, also known as S0–2, is a star in the star cluster close to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), orbiting it with a period of 16.0518 years, a semi-major axis of about 970 au, and a pericenter distance of 17 light hours (18 Tm or 120 au) – an orbit with a period only about 30% longer than that of Jupiter around the Sun, but coming no closer than about four times the ...
In Phantasy Star Online Episodes I and II, the spaceship Pioneer 2 arrived at the uninhabited planet Ragol in hopes of colonization in response to the failing ecosystem of the home planet Coral. In Episode III , Pioneer 2 has since gained independence from Coral, but inner strife still prevents an organized colonization, and it remains in orbit ...

Albireo is the star in the head of the constellation of Cygnus (bottom). β Cygni (Latinised to Beta Cygni) is the system's Bayer designation. The brighter of the two components is designated β¹ Cygni or Beta Cygni A and the fainter β² Cygni or Beta Cygni B. The origin of the star system's traditional name Albireo is unclear.
IGN praised the game's graphics and the lasting appeal of the game but also noted a steep learning-curve. [11] John Lee of NextGen called it "a dandy space game, intense and challenging – but it's not for everyone.
