    I see a lot of parallels to our own situation. Great story

    1:20:18 "The bright walls of the universe were shattered ..." -- having seen both total eclipses of 2017 and 2024, I say this is a very accurate description.

    Thank you so much for this. I was digging through my old paperbacks and finally went looking here. This is a fantastic reading. And the story hits just as hard today as ever.

    Asimov was clearly an atheist.

    Great twist with the tidally locked planet, they had never experienced night in their lives

    So, with only one sun visible, the other 5 must be in alignment behind Beta. But that means half of the planet is already experiencing night. The only way this civilization makes sense is if they have never been to the other side of their planet.

    Finish the story. Of course you’re correct, but appreciate the nuance in the writing. Please.

    Would have made a good 2 part Star Trek episode.
