// Station 1 // Lore
This lilting lullaby is a folk tale about the occasional bright starbursts in the sky towards the direction of the Hyades ๐.
It is said that when the Pleiades were still gathering their youthful formation โ Asterope and Sterope constituting the core at the time โ two far-flung comets fell in love.
Their orbits, differing wildly in origin, began to exert a dynamic pull on each other, each with unique particle-cloud trails in tow. Over millions of years, a mutual encirclement gradually drew closer and closer ... until particles from their wake began to collide each time they met ๐.
Their dance will continue through the next seventy epochs, alternating between vast interstellar separation and dangerously intimate proximity. Then, they will eventually merge and become one entity, perhaps then following a new orbit through the galaxy, or perhaps in a final collision. But they will be together at last.
// Station 2 // Field Notes
Reflecting our best understanding of the local concept of an "epoch", we have gathered that seventy epochs translates to a bit under four million Earth years.
