Suppose The Earth Got Saturn's
Rings... |
| |
|
|
| |
Those rings stay put. They don't shift around. But
people shift all the time. So, if you lived in Quito, in Ecuador,
the rings would be above you, but skinny, like a sharp cut in the
sky. |
| |
 |
| |
Leave Ecuador for
Manhattan? From a northern angle, those same rings would splay into
a huge double band, bigger than any skyscraper. In Sweden, they get
low and fat. In Madrid, they look like side-by-side railroad
tracks. |

Would kids grow up
differently under such different skies?
Would they paint differently?
Write different stories?
Dream differently?
I
wonder. |
