You know the Planet Saturn right? That gas giant in the outer section of our solar system with beautiful rings? Yes, the planet after Jupiter and before Uranus? Good, now you remember. Have you ever wondered what it will be like to live on a planet with rings as beautiful as Saturn’s? Have you ever pictured in your mind how the rings will look like from the perspective of someone standing on that planet?

I did and I still do to this day.

But how about putting those Saturn rings right here on our own Planet Earth? What would the sky be like in our own very familiar world with huge rings above us? How about during the night? Will it be awesome or scary? Earth with rings, hmmโ€ฆ

Imagine waking up every day, when you go out of your home to go to school or your office, there will always be a huge ring above you. Then at night, our only satellite the Moon won’t be lonely anymore, Earth’s rings will guide us through the night, ever shining, keeping monsters away.

Watch this video showing us exactly that - huge and beautiful rings like Saturn’s encircling Planet Earth.

And as danthemango said: โ€ฆ the only thing this is missing are the shots from the Earth, under the ring’s shadows, or the shots at the rings in Earth’s shadow.

แœŒแœ“แœƒแœ’ (Yuki ใƒป ้›ชไบฎ)If this is not the end of oblivion, then I shall live everyday as if my life were to end this very day.

The YOOki (ๆŸณ็ด€ ใƒป ์œ  ๊ธฐ) Chronicles

The YOOki (ๆŸณ็ด€ ใƒป ์œ  ๊ธฐ) Chronicles is แœŒแœ“แœƒแœ’ (Yuki ใƒป ้›ชไบฎ)’s return into casual and personal blogging. The name “YOOki” is a mash-up of the acronym of YourOnly.One and my nickname แœŒแœ“แœƒแœ’ (Yuki ใƒป ้›ชไบฎ).

Interestingly, according to Chinese legend, ใ€ŒๆŸณใ€ (YOO) is an ancient Chinese surname. The ancestors of the surname were closely linked with the ancient sage-king named Yu Shun. In Korea, the ใ€Œ์œ ใ€ (YOO) lineage traces to the Xia, Han, and Joseon dynasties. Holders of the surname Yu or Yoo had a reputation for charity and diligence.1

It is also the word for “willow” or the “willow tree” which means graceful or slender; and a tree growing near a body of water which provide continuous nourishment and resources for everyone. It can also mean to exist, an oil (anointment(?)), and simply as “U” (you).

The hanzi ใ€Œ็ด€ใ€ (ki) character means to record, be disciplined, provide order. While the hangul equivalent, ใ€Œ๊ธฐใ€ (ki; gi), means energy, spirit, a banner, and a period of time; and is also a suffix used to make a gerund or an infinitive.

Can you guess what I mean by ใ€ŒๆŸณ็ด€ใ€ and ใ€Œ์œ  ๊ธฐใ€ as the Chinese and Korean for “YOOki”?
