That would be an astroid belt... a personal, private relay would be a black hole. 😂 The application of cosmological terminology could actually lend a lot of nuance to explaining function... and it fits very well with people's tendency to call Nostr "the Nostrverse".

My kneejerk reaction is "this is stupid" because someone else tried using the planet/galaxy analogy with a different social platform. Also, its not self explanatory, but with an explanation the idea might work

I think of relays like ship nomenclature in the Culture books. Some are "General Systems Vehicles", some are "Rapid Offensive Units", some are ghost ships etc. https://theculture.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_spacecraft
