At this point in the solar system, the gravity between the sun and Earth can hold an object in a synchronous orbit, causing the object to travel around the sun at the exact same speed as the earth. Two satellites have occupied this space for some time, but a third, currently invisible to normal detection, arrived just this morning.

You'll see. wink Close your eyes and fly forward about half a mile, then open your eyes back up.

As Supergirl flys forward, an artificial sphere appears in front of her. The sphere is 100 miles in diameter, and covered with inerton, making it impossible to see into with x-ray vision.

The sphere changes, and becomes blue. The familiar crest of Superman and Supergirl appears, tens of miles wide.

Yep. It's sort of a Fortress of Solitude, except it's meant for you, and no one else. I can't even enter the place unless you let me. It dosen't have a name yet. Want to give it one?
