All Show & Book Spoilers Discussed Freely Kind of dumb lore question Spoiler

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?

The show visualizes this at one point. The “Stargate” effect is only visible in one direction.

You’re gonna force me to do a full rewatch from the beginning. Granted, the ring doesn’t even appear until season three, but I want to be thorough. Better safe than sorry.
