X: THE NINTH PLANET
AT THE FARTHEST EDGES OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, BEYOND
THE REACH OF ORDINARY HUMAN COMPREHENSION,
EXISTS THE NINTH PLANET: PLANET X.
WITH THE SIZE OF NEPTUNE AND A MASS 10 TIMES THAT
OF EARTH, X ORBITS THE SUN IN A HIGHLY ELLIPTICAL
ORBIT FAR BEYOND PLUTO. ABOUT 20 TIMES FARTHER
THAN ITS NEAREST PLANETARY NEIGHBOR, X TRAVELS
AROUND THE SUN AT AN AVERAGE DISTANCE OF 56
BILLION MILES, TAKING 15,000 EARTH YEARS TO
COMPLETE ONE ORBIT.
HOWEVER, DON'T ASSUME X IS A COLD, INHOSPITABLE
WORLD, QUITE THE CONTRARY. A SUPERHEATED IRON
CORE DEEP WITHIN THE PLANET KEEPS THE SURFACE
TEMPERATURE
A
COMFORTABLE
72 DEGREES.
SMOLDERING VOLCANOES PROJECT A GLOWING LIGHT
AGAINST THE CONSTANT COVER OF CLOUDS, RESULTING
IN THE FAMOUS PINK SKY OF PLANET X.
INNUMERABLE SPECIES INHABIT THE PLANET, WITH
FLOWERING PLANTS PREDOMINATING. EXTENSIVE CROSSPOLLINATION AND EONS OF EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY HAVE
RESULTED IN A HIGHLY COMPLEX SOCIETY OF HYBRID
BEINGS WHO COEXIST IN A SPIRIT OF LOVE, HARMONY,
AND JOY.
WELCOME TO PLANET X.
