6f09ad0 Some readers may realize that this story, first published in 1956, has been overtaken by events.

Well, what can I do except say that I wish astronomers would get things right to begin with? And I certainly refuse to change the story to suit their whims. the-dying-night asimov isaac-asimov isaac science-fiction Isaac Asimov
