The Interplanetary Visit

Intergalactic Nova

Draco, the distant Dragon-shaped galaxy was dying. One of its largest Suns was undergoing supernova, shining a billion times brighter, scorching the planets and moons near it. Fortunately, there was never intelligent life on these places.

The planets further away from the supernova were also devoid of intelligent life when events like the Draco supernova took place in the neighboring Strawberry Way. Meteorites from the Strawberry Way showered the Draconian planets reducing them from nice green round planets to brown barren donuts with pimples.

After a couple of light years later, the Draco large Sun eventually burnt itself out. A final cosmic explosion ended the life of the greatest Sun after tens of billions of years' interstellar time. The final outburst of heat swept across the galaxy, melting the galaxy's planets and moons to floating pulp. A chain reaction had been set off and the nearby suns within the proximity went off in a series of cosmic explosions. As the heat wave passed, the remnants of the suns clumped together in a huge cosmic event and collapsed within itself. Shortly, an enormous black hole formed, sucking the remnants of the Dragon-shaped galaxy deep into one of the greatest mysteries of space and time. All that was left of the once prominent star and galaxy was a spinning neutron star of a hundred thousand meters in diameter, weighing a zillion ton on Earth gravitational measurements. Propelled by the initial explosion before the black hole, it sped at a billion kilometers per second away from the black hole.

Yet, the velocity was not strong enough to keep the neutron star going. After traveling few thousand light years, it began to decelerate. The powerful gravitational forces of the black hole began to manifest its effects. Shortly, it began to accelerate towards the black hole. With acceleration of up to one hundred kilometers per second and increasing, the Neutron Star soon backtracked to the black hole.

Traveling at speed beyond the speed of the light, the neutron star began to heat up excessively in the black hole grinding against the remnants of the galaxy. The black hole was soon emitting light but the photons could barely escape the gravitational trap. With speeds and temperatures beyond human comprehension, a vortex began to form in the black hole. A worm hole began to spark in the vortex slowly engulfing the neutron star.

The neutron star emerged at the end of the Milky Way galaxy from a worm hole opening spewing materials from the Draco black hole. Dust particles and huge pieces of newly formed ice from the sudden cooling spurted out speeding towards the Milky Way Sun, drawn by the gravity. The neutron star was soon speeding past Vulcan, the newly discovered dark reddish grey yet Uranus-sized planet in the Milky Way on a collision course with Earth's moon. Within minutes, it soon passed the blue giant Neptune after a near collision with the small dark planet Pluto that had entered the orbit of Neptune. Neptune and Pluto's combined gravitation field had its effect on the Star as its course was deflected towards the Giant of Milky Way - the planet Jupiter.

Fed by the gravitational force of the giant planet Jupiter itself, the neutron star started to accelerate towards the Great Red Spot of the great planet. The once ultra-heavy neutron star burned fiercely in white flame as it plunged into the torrential and crushing atmosphere of Jupiter. Knocked by winds with speeds over thousands of kilometers per hour, the neutron star slowed ever so slightly, its weight too great to be significantly affected. Helium and hydrogen of Jupiter's atmosphere burned profusely with energy releases matching no less than multiple hydrogen bombs. If a human eye could witness the event, one would see a trail of nuclear explosions following the glorious descent. Each explosion was significantly reducing the mass of the neutron star. Before long, the neutron star was only twenty meters in diameter after the long burning journey to the deep surface of the planet.

From Earth, bright spots could be observed in the Great Red Spot.

On Jupiter, an enormous thick dull grey resilient mechanical hand of fifty meters in diameter opened its palm in the descent path. A huge explosion followed the impact of the neutron star shaking the mechanical hand. The explosion had also successfully blasted another huge chunk off the neutron star, reducing the size to a mere five meters. The mechanical three-fingered hand closed and successfully held down the neutron star before it could fly off due to the impact. The spark created by the rapid closure of the hand on the star led to another explosion, this time blowing a mechanical finger off the palm.

The mechanical arm slowly retracted to a gargantuan spherical airship of eight hundred thousand kilometers in diameter that wobbled under the strong winds, bringing along its prized catch, the neutron star.

Within the enormous bluish green and yet completely smooth spherical airship, millions of three-metered tall human-like beings stood surrounding the neutron star watching in what seemed like a hangar. The beings looked uncannily like humans, except they had heavy and enormous feet to adapt to their wobbling home, which was in turn kept suspended by the strong winds of Jupiter and by repelling the gravitational forces of Jupiter. These are the famous Jovians or as they preferred to be known as, "Jupitians". For they detest the term "Jovian", sounding as if they were made of joy.

Sounds were coming from the beings but it was clear that the commotion was more of excitement than of fear. The mechanical hand slowly came into view as it retracted to its "arm" in the center of the hangar supporting the neutron star in a now open palm structure.

At the other end of the hangar stood two five-metered tall Jupitians dressed in huge red and blue long coats. One looked distinctively male and the other, a female with gentler features. The Jupitians were Homo sapiens that were distanced to inhabit Jupiter after surviving early man of a great global flood and a mysterious confusion of languages that occurred overnight, built great spaceships to leave Earth. With the languages separating clans and families, each family went in their separate ways, each taking part of the tall tower they were building to construct spaceships to leave Earth. Thousands of families left in thousands of spaceships, propelling their ship through space-time distortion in their generation of an anti-gravity field to accelerate time and reach the planets in the galaxy in years. Many did not leave, many that left, did not survive, lost in the treacherous deep space. But with the sheer number of escaping ships, many did reach the various planets, even as far as Pluto. After long years of natural selection, the few survivors that landed in Jupiter developed have huge feet. Shocking rapid technological advances in the face of a hostile environment enabled them to modify whatever resources to a huge sphere held afloat by the strong winds. Gradually, the Jupitians began to utilize helium, hydrogen, ammonia and methane in Jupiter's atmosphere as their carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen sources. As they did so, their entire constitution changed conferring rapid neuronal growths to further augment their scientific achievements faster than their Earthly cousins.

Now back to the Hall.

With the commotion, the seemingly childless Jupitian leaders were unable to be heard. With a raise of the male leader's hand, the hall silenced. As if in response, the neutron star began to split centrally slowly but steadily. Bright light seeped out from the glowing white hot interior core of the Neutron Star and within, a Homo sapien looking baby lay asleep. Smiling, the Jupitian Queen descended and carried the baby. Caressing the baby, she announced in a language seemingly like Latin, "Lo and Behold, the Jupitian Prince!
