Space Exploration in The Rosepetal
Welcome to the Space Exploration section of the Hövnísan Public Knowledge Repository.   If you're interested in exploring the universe and the galaxy, you've come to the right place!   Below you'll find a curated selection of articles related to astronomy, astrography, history, as well showcase important technologies needed for modern space travel and exploration.
 

A First Look At Space

 

The Companions

Three (technically four) satellite galaxies orbit the Rosepetal, called the Dragon's Eye, Glitterburst and Sketha respectively. While they formed around the same time as the main galaxy, they were so small and close enough that they became caught by its gravitational pull.

The Verses

The Rosepetal - and possible the rest of the universe - is known to host three natural verses that are coterminus with each other: The realverse (space and time as we know it, also called reality), the darkverse (or the gloom as it's more commonly known as), and the subverse.

The Subverse
Geographic Location | Nov 19, 2023

A quasi-dimension able to carry radio- and microwaves across vast distances.

 
'Verse' is primarily used in scientific contexts to avoid confusing them with the four dimensions making out the spacetime continuum.
