I made a blender model and animation of this thing I experienced to show how it looks like and moves, and to use that as a way to find out if someone knows what it is, where or why. I don't know much more and am wondering what others know based on their encounters. It's somewhere at some time, seems huge. The discs are flattish and don't reflect light other than from the edges. I've tried posting in a few communities and get mostly aggravated answers, or overtly focusing on how I got this knowledge (almost like I've done something forbidden when it's not an aspect I care about), and one got modded hidden.

It's the 3-rd time I see this exact question @funkyshoe@piefed.social asked. One of my first responses, at 2026-06-14 06:16:37 UTC was:

As mentioned by @Mr_Wobble@thelemmy.club , more context is required, but the first idea that came is an orrery or some atom/planetary system.
Yet, the animation also shows moments all the orbits/rings align at certain angle. Looks marvelous, of course.

Related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orrery (...is a mechanical model of the Solar System that illustrates or predicts the relative positions and motions of...)

Yet, their question, and my answer with others' answers, were just deleted by the moderators at !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world at 2026-06-14 07:14:12 UTC for "Rule 5" (for unknown reason, fairly).

They re-created the question at the AskLemmy, and similar answers now were submitted again.

Now, again. It's sorrowful that time and effort of people is just voided, wasted, and obliterated.
