The Eclipse, where nothing should exist to eclipse, had soon confirmed the presence of the alien invader. As the Omega star moved closer, men of science discovered that it was no hitherto undiscovered planet; for if so, why should it be moving forward in an orbit almost at right angles to the plane which the planets of our Solar System moved in? "It was estimated that the people of earth had but one year in which to prepare for certain doom. When this collision of the suns should take place, all life upon Earth and the planets would be destroyed by the terrific heat generated in the two major bodies by the impact. Earth would boil and rod; volcanoes would erupt continuously, earthquakes would reduce civilization to ruins and all of man's records and he, himself, would disappear from the face of the earth in one mighty blast of solar heat! Thus would be his exit, if any man was so unfortunate as to survive the ravages of the Last War. Such would be the end of all things, upon the resultant crashing of the suns. Earth's temperature would rise into the thousands of degrees as the new-born flames of the sun reached out through millions of miles of space, rekindled. "Days and months passed. Many things changed. All nature was erratic. Even the planets slowed, paused, and speeded ahead in their flights around our dun as the Dark Star neared. Clocks failed to give the correct time, due to the changes in the sky. The season came out of time.
