Magimaria's post on Venus, and the replies that ensue, remind me of a word Faldage once used to describe his dream house: he'd like it to have a belvedere at the top from which he could study the skies through a telescope I guess not unlike the one Rubrick described.

Is this word readily understood by y'all? For me it wasn't. I had a different definition of 'belvedere' in my head.
