Explore "The Ghost Planet" by Murray Leinster on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When the Ghost Planet appeared on the far side of Neptune, of course, / nobody on Earth thought it meant anything at all. The first news / releases said only that a new comet had been discovered. It was coming / in at a surprisingly high velocity and it had developed a head at an / extraordinary distance from the sun.
It had no tail, as yet, but one was expected to form. A comet's head / and tail, of course, are simply ionized gases of almost infinite / thinness, driven out and away from the sun by light pressure.
