Escaping the Earth's Destruction
On this planet named Zyra, we have arrived.
We are some of the few that have survived.
A red dwarf star named Bellus inexorably rushed towards us.
It collided with the earth, and the results were disastrous.
Fortunately, this planet orbited around that dwarf star.
In this space ark, we the survivors have traveled far.
The remains of Bellus have continued on into space.
Zyra now orbits the sun as it has taken the earth’s place.
This planet has enough oxygen in its atmosphere.
Every indication shows life can be sustained here.
Our ship has landed safely on this new place.
We are here to start a new human race.
Based on the 1951 film “When Worlds Collide”.
