i picked safiya’s last name not even because of the meaning (“moon” and “crest” + its connection to religion, bc everything in voyage has a subtle religious connection) but bc of the chandrasekhar limit, which is the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star
something something a white dwarf being at the end of its lifecycle and “usefulness” but still able to fuse large elements despite all the barriers. staying at the limit such that it doesn’t collapse on itself and doesn’t supernovae. obsessed with my own character and her name
i wanted coding parts to be featured pretty much just for the aesthetic. the thing I ended up using is a modified, "made up" version of IDL (read: i don't know idl and i'm picking and choosing what i want), which used to be the standard for astronomy
this is so far fetched it’s embarrassing but i’m listening to one of the voyage playlists and in the fantasy dream world where it gets adapted into a movie i want sakuzyo and only sakuzyo to do the soundtrack
