ORZWEL The results of the Super Nova, that was observed last week in the Valuto Martarium Solar System, has Astronomers extremely excited! These scientists believe the masses that are trav- elling towards our Solar System are Siderites, that is, Meteors made of iron and other metals rather than the stony variety known as Aerolites. The speed of the fragments is estimated to be 3.84 parsecs. At this rate, the space debris, is travelling at 12.5 light years per week. The planetary material, is scattering through the Universe like a giant shotgun blast, that could reach the Earth in about three weeks. Reports from all over the globe have been pouring in. One of the largest telescopes on the planet, located in the quiet mountains of G.R.E.E.N-land, has given some background on the now discontinued line of planets, in this Solar System. Located at the edge of the Andromeda Nebulae, this small four planet sys- tem, was discovered just ten years ago, by the Ca- nadian star gazer, D. Nickel. Speculation about the tiny cluster of orbiting rocks, indicates, that the sec- ond planet from its Sun was a small yellow, no -name sphere, about the same size as the earth! As time hurtles onward, so do the objects, on a colli- sion course with who knows where? Astronomers will be watching, calculating and making their own theories as to how and when this will affect US! We expect further details to be released by next week.
