On Earth, humans gather to watch a once in a lifetime meteor shower, blissfully ignorant of the fact that Earth is not a safe place and that physics cannot be reasoned with. Cue the intro music to “Impact”, a two part “epic” miniseries soon to plummet onto your sci-fi schedule.
Hiding in the meteor field debris is a brown dwarf. A brown dwarf is a star mass object that no longer emits visible light, or very little anyway. It is really heavy. This particular BD collides with the moon to obvious effect. There is much consternation and hand wringing. Sexy blond scientists must spring to action, plucked brows furrowed. Moon spooge careens onto the Earth with much abandon, later causing mysterious effects that will take all four hours of the mini series to solve. Trailer follows, brace yourself. Via QuietEarth.
