Scientists Unearth Superman’s “Kryptonite”
Geologists in Serbia have found a mineral that shares the same chemical composition (sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide) as the fictional kryptonite! The new mineral, dubbed Jadarite, is not the large green crystals that can weaken Superman, but rather a white, powdery substance that contains no fluorine and is non-radioactive.
Potentially Habitable Planet Found
Major step in the search for more life in the universe! For the first time, astronomers have discovered a planet outside our solar system that is potentially habitable, with Earth-like temperatures. Named 581 c, the planet is circling the red dwarf star, Gliese 581.

Awesome! Now Otis and Ms. Teschmacher can rescue Lex Luthor from jail in a styling Darth Vader balloon, grab some ‘real’ kryptonite for protection, and head for their new base on 581 c to watch Heroes on Larry King Live.
