    About this ebook

    In January (about 1900, presumably), the people of Earth awaken to the notion that a strange luminous object has erupted, into the Solar System, after disturbing the normal orbit of the planet Neptune. Indeed, such object is a luminous celestial body, whose luminosity is distinguishable on the sky about the constellation of Leo.

    H. G. Wells

    H. G.

He was born in Bromley, Kent, and worked as a teacher, before studying biology under Thomas Huxley in London.
