Stanford torus

A Stanford Torus is a shape that scientists have thought up that could be a design for a space station. A Stanford Torus looks like a donut. It is wider in the middle and narrower on the edges. The walls of the torus are made of glass so you can look out and see space. The torus can rotate, creating a kind of artificial gravity like you feel on Earth. Inside the torus are places to live, work, and do other fun activities. The torus is big enough to fit hundreds of people!
