| Jan 7, 2019 at 13:33 | comment | added | Zaibis | @kikirex: ok given an inner sun, I see how this theoretically might fit the question. Just never having heared of the concept of an hollow earth, I had just thought how this should meet the day cycle requirement. | |
| Jan 7, 2019 at 13:15 | comment | added | kikirex | @Zaibis: people living inside a hollow earth with a inner sun may never see stars, thus may never develop any interest to outer space. I know this is far-fetched but technically it is still in the boundaries of the question. | |
| Jan 7, 2019 at 12:10 | comment | added | Zaibis | @kikirex; How that even COULD fit his needs? I don't get that. | |

| Jan 4, 2019 at 15:20 | comment | added | terdon | Not an answer since you seem to want "normal" sun cycles, but have a look at the premise of Asimov's Nightfall which is about a planet orbiting a multi-star system whose inhabitants have never seen the stars and what happens to them when they do. | |

| Jan 3, 2019 at 14:17 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | Just how essential is the "in our part of the galaxy" part for you? Because if it's not, you could always borrow a page from Iain M. Banks and set your story on a planet orbiting an intergalactic star. | |
| Jan 3, 2019 at 13:24 | comment | added | Feathercrown | @Renan Raminder that duplicate flags =/= find-your-answer-over-there flags | |
| Jan 3, 2019 at 11:57 | comment | added | Soron | @Renan Can you explain why it might be a duplicate? The two questions look very different to me. Individual answers might work for both, but the questions appear different. | |

| Jan 3, 2019 at 5:59 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | In The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, there is a planet called Krikkit. Due to a dust cloud surrounding the planet, the inhabitants see no stars and are unaware of the existence of the larger universe. They had no interest in exploring the universe because they didn't realise it existed. | |

| Jan 2, 2019 at 21:31 | comment | added | JBH | No stars. No moon (I assume). You always have a sun. You'll have clouds. No asteroids? No meteors? I'm not convinced you can create the basis you're looking for. IMO, intelligent primates will always look at birds and want to fly, and they'll always want to fly higher, and God is almost always up where the sun is.... I'm not feeling this one. | |
