Brittle Hollow
The hollow planet crumbling into the black hole at its heart, home of the Hanging City.
Brittle Hollow is the third of the six planets of the Outer Wilds solar system, a fragile rocky shell around a hollow interior with a black hole at its core. Lava bombs from its moon, Hollow's Lantern, keep breaking pieces off the crust, which fall into the black hole over each loop and come out at the White Hole near the White Hole Station.

Background
The Nomai left many structures on and under its crust: the Hanging City, built into the ice beneath the north pole, the Tower of Quantum Knowledge, the Southern Observatory, a Gravity Cannon and the Black Hole Forge, where the warp cores for the Ash Twin Project were made. Escape Pod 1 sits on the surface, and from it a trail of wooden bridges crosses gaps that already existed when the Nomai arrived. Both poles are snowy and the north has running water. Because the White Hole Station lies close to where the black hole's exit spits things out, a fall is usually more of a detour than a death.
Most of the crust is gone by the end of a loop, so visit the surface sites early.
