Show BUNDLE FROM HEAVEN New Minor Planet 'Swims Into Ken U. S. astronomers have revealed the discovery of a bundle from heaven a strange new minor planet which moves around the sun at high speed. The planetoid is only about two miles in diameter. Although there are about 1,600 of these minor chunks of matter, all circling around the earth like the sun, most of them travel in orbits far larger than that of the earth and do not come anywhere any-where near it. It is the fact that the newly discovered dis-covered planet cuts through the earth's orbit that makes it unusual. Only four other minor planets have been found which do this, and they have since been lost to astronomers' telescopes. |
