Scientists have discovered a somewhat earth-like planet which Hairshirt is fairly certain is the birthplace of Superman. Scientists describe the planet as five times larger than earth and say it's a planet of rock and ice circling a red sun. As of today, astronomers have made no official link between the planet and the Man of Steel, but come on.
"Five times larger than earth"?
"Planet of rock and ice"?
"Red sun"?
I don't know about you, but to me, that sounds completely like the opening of Superman: The Movie. The only thing that could make me surer is if the scientists saw a piece plexi-glass flying away from the planet with three disco-tastic villains begging to be let out.
While little information has been forthcoming about the Kryptonian nature of the planet, Hairshirt plans to investigate whether scientists have knowledge of a rocket speeding its way through the galaxy to deposit the future Metropolis Marvel on our doorstep.
