In this blog I am going to show you some of the best known planets of science fiction: from the impressive world of Pandora to the wooded planet of Endor. Let's start the geek trip.
A planet in my pocket

KRYPTON (Superman)
Terrain
Krypton is a distant
planet which orbits a red sun. Before its destruction, it was home to a great
civilization which boasted advanced science and technology. In many versions of
the story, it was either barren or icy, and often the home to huge crystals and
crystalline structures. Krypton had many strange creatures (Such as
glass-eaters) and beautiful landscapes that simply don't exist on other worlds.
The planet was destroyed late in its life due to internal pressures (In most
versions).
Krypton appears, or is at least mentioned, in almost every version of
the Superman mythos. It has changed completely over the years while retaining
many elements from its past.
It is the homeworld of Superman, but also to Supergirl, Krypto and other Kryptonians. Unfortunately,
the destruction of the planet also created Kryptonite,
radioactive chunks of the planet which are deadly to all Kryptonians. Jor-El told Louise McCallum, that Krypton
has colors that humans couldn't even dream of.
Civilization
The planet Krypton was a larger than the Earth with one higher gravity
planet, its composition is essentially ice and rock. The dominant life form is
humanoid, i.e., basically equal to the humans of Earth. In the first film of
1978 Superman the Kryptonian live in semi subterranean structures that protect
them from the intense cold from the outside, and its society is many centuries
more advanced than human. They dominate the quartz and other mineral crystals
by way of books, theory currently contemplated by the Earth, achieving perfect
crystals that optically contain millions of data. Several of these crystals are
sent with Superman to Earth, crystals in which it is our story, and crystals
which will call him their own. One of these crystals will allow you to build
your fortress of solitude. In comics, on the other hand, its appearance has
changed through the different periods of the comic, not only the own planet if
not the appearance and clothing of its inhabitants. They had a common language,
the Kryptonian.
Society
In the cities they had large towers that purified the air and climate
controlled. They also had towers to save and use the Sun's heat. There was a
museum called the centre of Mind-Art. Here were drawings of artists who painted
their works of art in their minds, then, in this museum you can see what was on
the minds of the artists.
•The floating City: was a city
that floated on a river.
•The cosmic clock: was a great clock showing since Krypton was born.
•The Golden volcano: the volcano
threw Golden lava.
The robots did the difficult work, and constructions made them large
machines. Krypton had so much gold that it had no value. In single Krypton had
a disease called Virus-X. This condition had no cure. Since childhood, to the
Kryptonian with a lighting, they made them immune to diseases. There was no
problem with the wounds. The wounds are instantly healed. In schools, classes
were given with the help of telepathic headphones. These helmets helped them
teachers pass their knowledge in a fast way.
Customs
The wedding took place in the "Palace of the
union", with the pair of furniture where the jewel of honour or of truth
(a low carved pedestal of a unique jewel, enormous) was mounted, exchanged
vows, at the time that made an exchange of rings wedding or "marriage
bracelet" which always varied colour. Never was allowed to double a pair.
A holiday of great importance in krypton was the "day of truth", held
annually, in which the Kryptonian non speaking nothing more than one truth to
another, even when the truth could be offensive. They had superstitions, for
example said that it was bad luck that bride used the mountain jewel on your
wedding day jewellery; When a bird was hunted era of bad luck; If a person saw
a comet should hide in a cave for 24 hours or that person would die; the
criminals thought that if they failed in their crimes, they could paint a
mythological creature called "One-Eyed-Grompus" and this would return
them good luck.
ROMULUS (Star Trek)
The Romulans are an alien species from Star Trek. It is a
species associated with the vulcanians. They are represented as passionate,
treacherous and opportunistic. They are the dominant race of the Romulan star
Empire, one of the largest Empires in the Beta quadrant of the milk Via. The
Neutral Zone is located in the middle of the Federation and the Romulan Empire,
but normally the Romulans to control it.
