Artwork of a space station around planet Earth
Star city. Computer artwork of part of a ring around the world space station in geostationary orbit. The space station known as Star City is linked to Earth by towers at the equator (not seen here). The concept of Star City is outlined in chapter 4 of Arthur C. Clarkes novel 3001: The final odyssey. The concept is based on the theoretical possibility of laying a cable between the Earth and a satellite hovering over the same spot on the Equator. The Moon can be seen at centre left and space ships which are servicing the space station can be seen at lower centre, at centre, and centre right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a stunning vision of Star City, a space station encircling our beloved planet Earth. In this computer-generated masterpiece, we witness the intricate details of a ring-shaped structure floating gracefully in geostationary orbit. Although not visible here, towering structures at the equator serve as vital connections between Star City and our home planet. Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's novel "3001: The Final Odyssey". Star City represents an ambitious concept rooted in scientific theory. It explores the possibility of establishing a cable link between Earth and a satellite positioned directly above the Equator. As we admire this breathtaking scene, it becomes clear that humanity's imagination knows no bounds when it comes to venturing beyond our terrestrial boundaries. In this awe-inspiring image, we also catch sight of other celestial wonders adorning the cosmic canvas. The Moon takes its place at center-left, casting its ethereal glow upon the scene while reminding us of mankind's fascination with lunar exploration. Meanwhile, space ships diligently navigate their way towards Star City for servicing purposes - their presence serving as testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery. This remarkable artwork is not just an illustration but rather an invitation to dream bigger and reach further into the vast expanse that lies beyond our world. Its beauty lies not only in its artistic rendering but also in its ability to inspire wonderment about what lies ahead for humankind among the stars.
