![]() Bronson Alpha grazes and destroys the Moon. Tidal waves sweep inland at a height of 750 feet (230 m), volcanic eruptions and earthquakes add to the deadly toll, and the weather runs wild for more than two days. As the planets approach, observers see through their telescopes cities on Bronson Beta. The United States evacuates coastal regions in preparation for the first encounter. Scientists led by Cole Hendron work desperately to build an atomic rocket to transport enough people, animals and equipment to Bronson Beta to save humanity from extinction. Bronson Beta (discovered to be Earth-like and potentially habitable) may remain and assume a stable orbit. Sixteen months later, after swinging around the Sun, Bronson Alpha (a gas giant) will return to pulverize the Earth and depart. In eight months, they will pass close enough for gravitational forces to cause catastrophic damage to the Earth. Sven Bronson, a Swedish astronomer working at an observatory in South Africa, discovers a pair of rogue planets, Bronson Alpha and Bronson Beta, which will soon enter the Solar System. It was first published as a six-part monthly serial (September 1932 through February 1933) in Blue Book magazine, illustrated by Joseph Franké.
