For thousands of years the Human race has been living by itself, all alone in an infinite universe. They adapt slowly, after eighteen thousand years they moved into the Industrialized Revolution. And in 1959, they'll make the biggest discovery ever. So with the human race living by itself, and adapting to things slowly, it was in for a big surprise.
September 19 , 1959
" What?! " A loud voice boomed through the small metal room. " What do you mean you've found something new!?" The voice belonged to none other then Alexander Price. He was the head of NASA, the newest organization to be added to the long list in the United States. He looked around the room at his fellow colleges and scientists.
" Well, sir, " A young scientist by the name of Micheal McKay stammered, " Two days ago, at exactly 12:23 pm, our satellite, Explorer 1, was picking up strange energy readings by Jupiter's moon, Triton. " He finished as he adjusted his round spectacles on his pudgy face.
"So your telling me that this whole meeting is for an energy signature?" Price said in a loud boom. The sound made McKay shudder. " No sir, thats not at all, these energy readings are high level quantum energy, they burn mostly hydrogen and another element we've yet to classify. I want to send another satellite up to check out the readings. I estimated that it should take three months to reach Explorer, and that will give up ample to get ready for the massive data dump down to the NASA network." Micheal McKay finished as he sat down in his seat, he shuffled through some papers as he began the next part of the speech.
"So, what can you tell from these readings so far?" Alex Price said as he looked around the room that contained over twenty of NASA's smartest scientists. "Well, I can confer from the readings that the energy signature is in the Ultraviolet spectrum, they colors we cannot see. And that an enormous amount of energy is cooling over a period of time. Everything is relative, cooling still means it's over sixty thousand degrees. Now at first we though it was a star." He paused for to take a breath and let everyone in the room take in what he just said.
"We recorded that it was a F-class star that is ten times brighter then our sun and over two hundred thousand years old. But when we looked closer, we realized it was in Jupiter's atmosphere, so that rules out the fact that it would be a star because at that distance, it would set fire the atmosphere. And we can conclude that the "Star" has been there for hundreds of thousands of years, and the light we've seen from Jupiter is only thousands of years old, therefore, we'd see if it set fire to the atmosphere." Micheal McKay said as he stood up, shifted papers in his folder, and sat back down.
"So, what is it?" Alex Price inquired as all the other members stared at him with disbelieve, Alex however, was interested to hear what he had to say. Micheal McKay stood up one last time. "We've concluded that the Nyx isn't a star, but in fact an alien space station in Jupiter's atmosphere." He concluded as he sat down.
" And another ball of light is heading straight for Earth "McKay said after a moment, just to let it sink into the twenty or so great minds that were sitting around the table. " So how long do we have, and what can we do? " Alex Price said, now seeming nervous. " We've estimated we have a hundred years before it hits. I don't think we need to worry about it yet. " He said, reassuring everyone in the room, even himself.
