Description
The brightly lit object we discovered on this asteroid is an advertisement.
This massive display is supported by a mechanical infrastructure occupying the inside of the asteroid it is mounted on. The asteroid itself is anomalously suspended at one point in space, unaffected by the gravitational pull of any nearby object.
The advertisement itself is in reference to what it calls "The Greatest Show in the Multiverse".There is a terminal accepting energy credits for direct transport to the attraction.
