It dealt with a community who were living in a new dark age after an unspecified catastrophe. probably a nuclear war. It was set in Britain and one passage described a moment where one of the characters saw an empty crisp packet with Smiths written on it and thought it had something to do with the community blacksmith.

The orbital place you propose could mean the inhabited moon is on the L3 place for the gas prevalent-enormous call combination. an thrilling danger i do no longer remember seeing ever used. in basic terms how a ways out which would be relies upon on the mass of the gas prevalent. For Earth it may be approximately 920,000 miles. to that end it is probable a ways sufficient away that some potential gets contained in the direction of the gas prevalent's top environment. you may even have the enormous call sufficiently enormous that the gas prevalent basically creates an annular eclipse, quite than an entire. to that end there could be some easy and warmth quickly reaching the moon. surely, the gas prevalent could truthfully be offering sufficient cover for existence to be achievable, as in any different case the moon could be too warm if interior the entire blast of the enormous call, which I presume could be spectral type A2V or in the previous. As for colorations, invent some concept the place the enormous call dealing with factor has one combination of gases, and a various one on the night factor. Phosgene is reddish, giving Jupiter's purple spot its shade.
