A PLANETARY SYSTEM AROUND GIANT STAR RIGEL

PLANET CATTLE HERD AROUND RIGEL
Look at these oblong blobs floating around the halo of Rigel. A seriously concerned person could be very suspicious of these objects, dismissing them as image flaws, except, they all point to the center of the star like cattle around a meteor's new impact crator in their pasteur (it happened 30 klms out of Montreal Canada in the early 90's, a herd of cattle all stood in a circle pointing inward staring at the new impact crator, which is how the sky lighting meteor's landing site was so quickly found, a farmer discovered his cattle herd standing shoulder to shoulder staring into the pit, a bit of smoke lifting lazily up from the cavity in the ground.
The presence of the cattle was totally counter intuitive, everyone thought the cattle would have eaten through the fence and be in the next province by the time the farmer discovered the cavity.
The news reports did not mention if their tails were all sticking straight up like exclamation marks. The cows were, apparantly, just standing there motionless, in a circle, chewing their cud, staring into the large hole in the ground. Imagine the ultra violet jolt their eyesight must have had. I saw it coming down 300 kilometers away out my back patio door in Ottawa (far away west from Montreal) a brillient near blinding eerie green oblong coming almost straight down with a dirty smoking tail, falling in a few seconds between two houses across the small park and thought a helicopter had gone down, and waited for news, and sure enough suddenly TV was ablaze with it, including the farmer's cow story. The amazing thing was, more than 300 kilometers away! for a meteor said to be about the size of a football.
BACK TO RIGEL
Why not say so, these 'cattle' around Rigel might be likely proto planets, such as gaseous, such as Jupiter or even up to ten times larger, and being gaseous in such a strong blast of solar winds from the mighty star just might be elongated rather than spheres. A science fiction writer could make a comfortable profit writing short stories about this effect, I am sure.
Cattle surround the whole star. Little enhancement is possible on the Dss original image, a little diming of light and the ovals become hard to see, a little strengthening of light and the ovals also become hard to see, because of the bright intensity of the starbright center portion of the image.
Two planet ovals, one with an island center, both point straight to Rigel which is offscreen in the lower left.
Cattle, or 'islands' if you like a more scientific term, stand out in their own unique lighter shade when the 'colorized' image is converted to reverse negative (next below). An example of 'islands' in the vacinity of a flare, is next. The super hot pin point dot to the right in the reverse negative view below, is actually a small black dot in the original.
The end of a flare aiming to the left is dimly seen in the above reverse negative view. There are two long flares, close together, streaming to the left.
A peciliarity of the 'islands' which may argue against them being stretched out gassy planets, is a concentration in the upper hemisphere of the star's halo.
PLANE OF THE ECLIPTIC ORBIT
An arguement, very elegant, favoring gassy giant planets, is their orbits. If in orbit the ecliptic plane of the Rigel solar system's many planets may be tilted relative to our viewpoint such that more planets are visible out in the open in the upper hemisphere, and farther out in the upper left, and in orbits on the opposite (lower) side of the star, fewer planets are seen hidden behind the coronal glare of Rigel in the lower hemisphere.
Another favorable arguement is that most of the islands have centers, small dots surrounded by moats. Spurious image flaws of kind which are big bummers for astronomers does not seem to be the case here.
I favor planets in orbits whose ecliptic axis disk lies tilted along a North (forward) to South (rearward) plane, and slightly canted to the right, the outer left most foreward.
Limited graphic editor means cannot do much, but, at left is an attempt to show that the ecliptic disk is most toward us at the widest end of the vector.

LARGE SOLAR SYSTEM OF PLANETS IN RIGEL HALO |
The following information appears in a GIC study of orbital shells around nebula centers. Five nebulas are examined for their orbital shells.
19 small ovals can be clearly seen in the halo, a few are noted in red squares in an upper right quadrant of the halo.
The ovals all face inward to Rigel, like cattle around a meteor pit in their pasteur. Most ovals are in the upper right area, fewest in the lower left, indicating the Rigel solar system is tilted in ecliptic axis closer to us in the upper right where planets are less obscured by the halo.
