* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'': In the ''Lair of the Shadow Broker'' DLC, the Shadow Broker's center of operations is on a ship constantly traversing a slowly rotating planet at the terminus between the day side that is blazing hot, and the night side which freezes solid ten minutes after sunset. Tthe terminus itself is not safe either as it's wracked by a never-ending lightning storm. This is actually a case of [[ShownTheirWork showing their work]], because this is ''exactly'' what would happen along the boundary of such an extreme temperature differential.

Added DiffLines:
* ''Literature/TheSunlitMan'': Canticle's super-charged sunlight will burn or melt anything that it touches, so the "cities" of Canticle have to constantly keep flying to stay in the planet's shadow.

At least as applied to Mercury itself, the Mercurial Base is of necessity a relatively new idea. Astronomers used to think Mercury was [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking tidally locked]] to the sun, with the day side constantly searing hot and the night side constantly near absolute zero. But in 1965 it was discovered that the planet is only sort-of "locked"[[note]]more accurately, it ''is'' tidally locked, but not into a ''synchronous'' lock[[/note]], in a 3:2 orbital resonance that gives it three days every two years. Thus came the idea that a base would have to move, slowly, in order to stay out of the sun.
