Does Super Earth spell the end of Regular Earth?
Everyone once in a while during Bonus Time we skip across a news story that is truly Bonus-riffic (kinda close to Boneriffic I know, not sure if we'll stick with that). It turns out scientists have discovered a new planet outside of our Solar System, and while they seem to do this all the time, they're claiming this is the first rocky one they have discovered.
Scientists are calling this new planet "Super Earth" because it's fucking huge. The thing is the size of Neptune, which is roughly 17 times the size of Earth. 17 times is a lot, and I know in general people have a tough time dealing with massive things they can't understand but fuck that's gigantic. Apparantly however there is a catch as Super Earth is way too close to it's own star to support any life. Scientists are describing Super Earth as having ridiculous temperatures that range from 1000-1500 degrees during the day time, and something ridiculously cold for night time.
So gigantic fucking planet that's kinda like Earth with no life, what's the big deal? Well here at Bonus Time we have our own scientists, and they have something else to say about this. Ala Doomsday (the guy who killed Superman way back when) this planet is clearly home to some kind of hyper evolved ultra survivor species, and it's clear that in declaring themselves Super Earth they have their eyes set on destroying our little blue and green ball of mud.
Good luck fighting this guy, genius!
So what can you do about this, and why should you care? Well first, you can't do shit because let's think about it you bitch when it goes over 100 degrees. Whatever lives on that planet regularly deals with 1000+ degree temperatures. Secondly why should you care? Well because when these assholes do get to Earth, they're going to completely push our shit in. Is Super Earth how Bonus Time will inevitably end? The Bonus Time psychic team is doing their best to try and forecast these events, but so far we've got nothing.
Enjoy your Bonus Time while it lasts Earthling!
