I've been as far as the entrance gate but the view wasn't worthwhile. The official name is Noor 2 (noor is light in Arabic as in the morning greeting 'sabah el noor' or 'morning of light').
However some prefer to call it the Death Star. At times it pulses and when there's a breeze it emits a moaning noise.
