"Let's take it another step further. As you say, Gold, Mercury is much smaller than the other planets, what if the alignment affected Mercury, and it was that planet that was torn apart. What do you think would happen to Earth then?" She left the question open to discussion among the students.

Gold nodded, when the professor spoke again. She was such a good teacher, this one! MUCH better than their insane-o Defence teacher. He was, to be very frank, something of a nut.

"I think that would effect Venus, more than the earth," she said thoughtfully, hand sort of in the air. "Since that's the 'wall' between us, and Mercury. Mercury's not the biggest celestial body out there, so I think it's pretty likely that, if it were torn apart, pieces of it wouldn't crash into the earth - maybe into Venus, cause some damage there."

"But that brings us to a scarier possibility - what if a bit of Venus gets torn apart, because of that? That could land our own planet into trouble... of course, there's also the possibility that, if Mercury is ever torn apart, the bits of it would just float around in space, not causing any real damage, but gradually burning up, or being modified in shape or size."

She lowered her hand, with a thoughtful smile.

Nice class, yep!
