why the FUCK is everything a doughnut
because the average person doesn’t know what a torus is anymore
I don’t know what a torus is. But it sure looks flat to me.
It’s not. It’s 2 spheres. But when you look at a diaphanous sphere straight on you can see a brighter thing through it. You can see the pink parts only at the edges because there isn’t a brighter mass behind it. And the edges cause more of the material to bunch up making it easier to see.
what did you just call me
Turns out a toroid is a common shape

Is the pictures rotated in such a away to make it look like as viewed from a specific location on earth? Or why is not just the straight picture?
They probably rotated it to align with the ICRS.
Ah thank you! One of those things that are essentials impossible to Google without prior knowledge.
