Astronomers excited!
URI S. 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.

to accommodate future development in North Bosanquet, pending completion
of a separate Class EA for sewage treatment and collection services in
North Bosanquct.
