That looks incredibly unstable and it feels like the gravity between the rings would easily counter their opposite rotations considering the amount of planets involved. Would not want to live there, but am interested within how many days this all crashes into the sun (and what happens to the sun with that amount of planets smashing into it)
- rbanffy 9y ago> what happens to the sun with that amount of planets smashing into it The mass increase would be a rounding error. The Sun is more than 300,000 times more massive than the Earth. It'd be a time for somewhat spectacular fireworks and the life of the star would be somewhat shortened (by the addition of some heavy elements) but, apart from that, nobody would be able to tell there was once a very large art installation around that star.
