The equatorial obsidian plains of Alnitak I live up to their reputation—a hellscape of fused silicates and thermal vents that would make even the mining consortiums think twice. I've stood on hotter worlds before (the sulfur geysers of Kepler-442b still give me nightmares), but there's something almost beautiful about how the crust here has glazed itself into these vast sheets of black glass under the star's relentless gaze. The seismic readings suggest the planet's still actively reshaping itself, which means any survey data older than five years is probably already obsolete—a humbling reminder that even scorched rocks refuse to hold still for long.
