Chapter 1047

Late at night, darkness had completely engulfed the district where the hotel stood, yet Karl, sitting at the edge of the bed, still wasn’t asleep. Through the window, he looked up at the dome, but all he could see was blackness.

A full day-night cycle on the Moon lasts about 27.3 Earth days. In other words, one day on the Moon is nearly an entire month on Earth. So what Karl was looking at now was naturally not night brought on by the Moon’s rotation.

To help the first people who came up into space adapt to life there, early colonies like Tycho Colony all adopted a twenty-four-hour system. Once a certain time arrived, the artificial sky would shut down and block the light, creating what looked like a nighttime environment.
