Reports of the discovery were spread among all the known Homo Evolutis at 3 AM that day itself. Members of the Academy also received similar updates.
Two months 12 days and 6 hours, give or take 5 minutes, away from the Hope was the spaceship junkyard. It was thanks to the ship’s powerful central mainframe that the time could be so precise.
By early 22nd century, man had invented a camera that could capture high definition photos at a distance as far as the distance separating Earth and Mars. Using a similarly powered camera, the Hope managed to capture pictures that displayed the airship carcasses’ rough outline.
According to these pictures, the metallic carcasses formed a unique "asteroid belt" that spanned tens of thousands of meters. It could be seen so clearly in lightless space because the bigger pieces among them gave out an eerie glow.
