While not a single famous title, the concept appears across various media:
: It is a common trope to describe the "dead zones" between colonies or the terrifying silence of a ship lost in the void.

: This distance sits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) . It is home to many communications satellites navigating the "emptiness" between Earth and deep space.
