Interesting question, thank you! Here's my thought process:

SHORT ANSWER: I thought "heliosphere" sounded cool and "under the sky" was basically named after a song.

LONG ANSWER: I always thought I wasn't good at giving names, so I looked for different terms related to space. "Heliosphere" felt like a good name, but felt a bit short as a full title.

So I thought "hey maybe adding an additional title after a colon would make it sound cooler", and I did! LOL.

I was listening to this particular song called "Under the Sky" a lot back then, and thought it fit. It was one of the songs I loved in DDR back in the day (and I still do now, more than ever!)

BUT. Now I feel it has some sort of symbolism. "Under the Sky" means under our own "sky" in the solar system. It may seem big, but in the grand scheme of things, the solar system is small.

So going back to the solar system, it felt like home "under (our own) sky" than going beyond it to the rest of the universe.

Here's a newer (full) version I've been using for the project lately!
