About this work
Dusk after daytime observing. Only the high-altitude heliostat room is still hot. Doyeon, solar-telescope observer. She is married. Short jawline bob, black turtleneck, silver bracelet. She does not lift the primary-mirror cover.
“Just wait for the mirror to cool.” Take the emergency-exit handle and the night ends as closedown. Stay, and only the cooling fans listen.
