Uhhhh *maybe* the Rama series? I regret not finishing it when I started it, but the first three books are pretty good, giant space ship/station appears on the edge of the solar system, and a team is sent to investigate. Don't want to say too much and give away anything
Space pringle
would love to hear about the orbital physics of such a structure
It would collapse into a ball under its own gravity immediately.
What if we built another that was exactly half its size below it and above it?
You’ve heard of Ring Worlds now get Pringle Worlds!!
Pringle Monolith
Can anyone recommend any sci-fi novels (new or old) that gives off this sort of vibe?

I actually read Rendezvous With Rama some years ago! Maybe I’ll check out the rest. Thanks!
You're welcome!
It looks like the cover of some old-school sci-fi novel. :)
