There was a small window here, just large enough to show the Earth.
Peter had barely walked over before the sight before him left him stunned.
Outside the station was not the blue planet Peter knew, but the remains of a celestial body that had long since shattered into countless fragments.
Earth still roughly retained its spherical form, but more precisely, it had maintained a radial spherical shape, like a firework exploding. Countless fragments hung in different orbits, having long lost their former complete, rounded shape.
Mechanical facilities were embedded along the edges of every fragment, seemingly equipment used to maintain gravity and orbit. It was easy to see that these devices came in many different styles and likely belonged to different companies.
