IC: ViZion's astronomers have made two discoveries, one very exciting; the other very startling.

We will start with the exciting discovery. Our astronomers have found a new star, which they will be naming Vintos, after the astronomer who found it, Alexius Vintos. ViZion is very excited about this new discovery, as it means a new solar system is on its way, and more answers - or more questions - are on their way, too.

As for the more startling news, they have also spotted an asteroid heading our way. On the projected path, it will miss Earth by just over five million miles - meaning you will be able to see it if it is a clear day in your area. They expect it to pass Earth in 12 years, eight months, and 21 days from now.

ViZion wishes to work with the international community on this asteroid, doing things such as making a space platform that can be used to do research on it as it nears this planet.

The USSCR has enlisted the work of the 7 Up guy to laser the USSCR's flag on the asteroid as it passes.
