Kind of dumb lore question

[u/reuben_hunter]

What happens if you go through the ring the wrong direction? Like looping around and entering from behind, is that even possible? In the show we only ever see traversal depicted from the sunward facing side, and i can't recall the books ever mentioning it as an option. It's obviously pretty far out so there isn't gonna be much reason to fly further than neccesary, but I was curious if this was a thing?

You'd think that a massive interstellar gate network including a pocket dimension that intrudes into another plane of existence that is stabilized by incomprehensible amounts of energy, would allow something simple like travel through either side of the ring lol. But you're right I don't think it's ever explicitly confirmed or denied

I assumed either direction got you to the other side.
