==== 6.22. The Astronomy of Silence ====
\\
(Location: Starless Dome Annex, JAOC Periphery) \\

**Description:** \\
The annex was constructed to study starfields artificially removed of known bodies. “To understand absence, subtract everything,” reads the foundation plaque. No constellations are projected here---just void. Judai enters and instantly feels weightless. Juna locates a central dial labeled *Silence Intensity,* calibrated not in decibels but in years. They set it to *1971,* and a low hum begins---a tone of policy erased. Around the dome, carved into the walls, are the names of entire galaxies marked as forgotten. The project’s subtitle: *Celestial Amnesty Program.* One display case holds a brass coin with both sides blank. “They paid for forgetting,” says Juna, “but the interest collects in the sky.” \\

**Keywords:** \\
##starless observatory \\
##subtractive sky model \\
##silence intensity dial \\
##celestial amnesty program \\
##galactic erasure coin \\

**Very Short Story:** \\
Juna adjusted the dial to *\1983.* The dome filled with nothing---and then less. A breeze of memory passed through them, trailing light without source. Judai knelt at the wall and touched the name of a galaxy once described in a journal of dreams. “Do we owe it anything?” he asked. “Only attention,” Juna replied. The blank coin rattled on its own in the display case. Above them, a projected map of void blinked once---then nothing again. \\
