That’s probably where the devil lives. How else could it go the opposite direction?

But there are other planets in the system, yes? So somebody is moving backwards...
To: posterchild
A THOUSAND light years away from its star? How could they possibly detect it, and how did they decide it “belonged” to a star 1000 light years away? That’s the size of the Milky Way galaxy!!!

ACtually the Milky Way is more like 100,000 miles across.
Almost everything you can see with your naked eye is closer than that....Almost.

A planet going backwards. Let’s name it “Socialist”. Or is that racist?
