Moon-Close Planets
Chapter 1. The first time I heard about the possibility of planets as close as the moon was at a small, rural astronomy club gathering. A man came to the meeting wearing a tweed suit and introduced himself as Professor Fielding. He had a wild-eyed look to him, and he spoke in such a way that seemed to suggest he knew something the rest of us didn't. I took an immediate liking to him.
He was different from most of the people I interacted with on a day-to-day basis, and his enthusiasm for science was contagious. He spoke about his research with great intensity, and it wasn't long before I found myself completely captivated by what he had to say. He explained that he had been studying star systems for many years, looking for potential planets that might exist within our own solar system. After months of painstaking analysis, he had finally uncovered evidence that there were three planets orbiting far beyond Neptune's range—planets that were so close to Earth they could be seen with the naked eye!
At first, no one believed him; they thought it was impossible for something like this to be true. But Professor Fielding's data was sound; after further scrutiny it was determined that these mysterious planets did indeed exist! The news spread quickly throughout the scientific community and soon everyone wanted to know more about these newfound celestial bodies.
Professor Fielding quickly became an overnight celebrity, appearing on television shows and giving interviews wherever he went. It seemed like everyone wanted a piece of him! But despite all of this newfound attention, Professor Fielding remained humble and focused on his research.
He dedicated his life to learning more about these planets—dubbed “The Moon-Close Planets”—and even published several books detailing his findings. Today, everyone knows about The Moon-Close Planets and thanks to Professor Fielding’s tireless work, we have gained valuable insight into our own cosmic backyard! His discoveries have opened up new possibilities in our understanding of the universe and sparked renewed interest in space exploration—allowing us to reach further than ever before!
