Greetings wonderful readers. Thanks for being here. I had a great time at the park this weekend. It was nice to see some of my readers there. Glad I got to meet you and hear your ideas about what you’d like to read in the blog.
My interest has been Harappan history for some time. Of course I include Kusha since most Harappans moved here after Harvest Day. When we got here it hit me that there was soon to be a physical end to Harappa, the world of my birth.
I didn’t see anyone else doing it so I took it on myself to compile what history I could. I have been traveling around Kusha gathering what stories I can about Harappans and their time on our Homeworld.
I’ve met some interesting people and gathered some fine stories, big and small.
I’ll be sharing some of these stories with you over time. But this week I’ll tell you a little about the world itself. Its ecology, its environment, its creatures.
We don’t know too much about how Marcus Johnson found the planet. He did not keep many records from his time on Earth. What we know is that his observations about the world were very sketchy. He knew that it had an oxygen rich atmosphere and a gravity that humans could live with. He knew that its days and years were similar to Earth’s. He knew that there was lots of water. He also knew that the orbit was not all that stable. There was a wobble in it that he could see from Earth.
We now know that the instability of the orbit was a result of the Blue Moon. The Blue Moon was a small gas giant planet that had fallen into Harappa’s orbit. The illumaphane on Harappa held the larger world in place.
The Harvest Day Blast broke the bond between Harappa and the Blue Moon. The blue Moon flew off on its own path and Harappa started a spiral towards its sun. Harappa should meet its final end in just a few months from now. There are scientists from around the Galaxy gathering to monitor the situation. The Death Watch has started.
Tomorrow: How Harappans are viewing the end of their Homeworld.
Never Mix red wine and Oodo.
