"What do you make of it?" Commander Jed Hargraves asked
huskily.
Ron Val, busy at the telescope, was too excited to look up from
the eye-piece. "There are at least two planets circling Vega " he
said quickly. "There may be other planets farther out, but I can
see two plainly. And Jed, the nearest planet, the one we are
approaching, has an atmosphere. The telescope reveals a blur that
could only be caused by an atmosphere. And--Jed, this may seem so
impossible you won't believe it--but I can see several large spots
on the surface that are almost certainly lakes. They are not big
enough to be called oceans or seas. But I am almost positive they
are lakes "
According to the preconceptions of astronomers, formed before
they had a chance to go see for themselves, solar systems were
supposed to be rare birds. Not every sun had a chance to give birth
to planets. Not one sun in a thousand, maybe not one in a million;
maybe, with the exception of Sol, not another one in the whole
universe.
And here the first sun approached by the Third Interstellar
Expedition was circled by planets
The sight was enough to drive an astronomer insane.
