Observable only supports dynamic imports, as the static import syntax is reserved for notebook modules (that is, cells imported from other notebooks).

Additionally you need to use a bundling service like skypack, jsdelivr or esm.sh. I recommend esm.sh as it lets you specify the dependencies or even create your own bundle on the fly, something you may need for the [other question](https://talk.observablehq.com/t/importing-from-a-module-that-requires-a-catch-and-window-attachment/8263) that you posted. Check out [their docs](https://esm.sh/#docs) for more details.

You can import BabylonJS with

```auto
BABYLON = (await import("https://esm.sh/babylonjs@6")).default

```
