Is person 1 or person X fully correct? Gate location seems to be at the builder's discretion. I've been using a tool at ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/orbit_viewer.html to understand various orbital behaviors... and it allows the user to input day/year. VAST distances within our solar system. | |

The wiki says Uranus. That's interesting about the Ring being stationary! Either that hasn't been mentioned yet or I missed it. Weirdly it doesn't make all that difference for the point I'm making here, since everything else is moving. Nobody except scientists cares what absolute side of the system it's on, but someone travelling there from near Uranus or Neptune cares whether it's on the same side as that planet. | |

Interesting point about the rings... the do not orbit! They are parked at a stationary point in space (relative to host star) with zero angular velocity but they are not pulled inward by gravity. More protomolecle almost magic! | |
