In the now exposed rock, clouds take root and form a forest supported by huge lazy gyres, while smaller whirls wander around drawing water

A beacon anchored in spacetime floats here, rocking back and forth in the gravity surf, the system it’s marking long gone

One of the rarer rainbow types is the nova bow: A dying star’s scouring light, refracted by rocks that it vaporized
