Sorry, but a similar design is already taken by the planet where everyone’s obsessed with The Ring

Iain M. Banks wrote a book on that. Inversions I think.

I’m down and anyone who isn’t hasn’t seen a total eclipse yet. I saw my first one last year and by the time it finally came up I was starting to be a little fed up of hearing about it and slightly skeptical about how big of a deal it was. Then the day came, it got dark in a way my senses were not ready for and finally Totality happened, I saw the diamond ring with my own eyes and I lost my marbles at how fucking deeply existential this moment felt. 10/10 would watch again

I’m in the UK so didn’t see the last one but during the previous one I found looking around at the darkness and observing how all the birds went quiet was a bigger deal than the actual eclipse of the sun. I mean that was still really cool, but the dark and stillness was uncanny.
