Description
Betelgeuse, a star 642.5 light years away from Earth, was ending its life. The red star's glow had recently started growing brighter while in reality, it was entering its last phase and about to explode, transforming into a neutron star. As hundreds of thousands of humans looked up at their night sky and watched one star getting brighter and brighter, an event was unfolding beyond comprehension. The star's X-rays and blast waves travelled far further than anyone expected, and they eventually reached our solar system. These effects, however, surprisingly did not harm us humans in any way but something did happen, and it was something that no one could explain. With each passing day, the planets in our solar system started changing, as if this event caused shifts in their orbit paths, or changed the direction of their rotation. It was perplexing and baffling, yet it brought many a curiosity to our minds as we observed the changes that occurred with each passing day. As scientists continued to grapple with the unexpected effects of Betelgeuse's supernova, the planets in our solar system underwent another astonishing transformation. The planets themselves turned human, with each of them waking up in a location on Earth, completely without any memory of their previous existence or knowledge of what had actually happened. All they now were was who they were in the present, with no recollection of anything that had come before. The planets, now humans, were left to fend for themselves and figure out what their current purposes and place in life was.
