[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7732431, member: 6925649"] [IMG]https://orig00.deviantart.net/77a7/f/2017/345/7/d/ringworld_by_thomasbowman767-dbwhdx2.png[/IMG] [URL]https://orig00.deviantart.net/77a7/f/2017/345/7/d/ringworld_by_thomasbowman767-dbwhdx2.png[/URL] This is a diagram I drew some time ago of a ringworld around our Sun some time in the distant future.
