I didn't read those (yet); however, I saw the "Stonemouth" adaptation on
TV. Another kettle of fish indeed.

"One more object was detected in what now appears as a small system consisting
of 3 planetoids orbiting close to their minor scale star. The 3rd one turns out
to be what is left of intense volcanic activity in its past. Once a molten
furnace, now a cooled-off and solid, barren world with a thick layer of dust and
particles still managing to cover the object. Probably at least some of it
originates from the planetoid where the earlier experiment with an artificial
atmosphere is now but remains fading away to space."
PS. No light_source, but emission on the scattering media instead. :)

This looks like it could have come from an ESA probe!
