these are very deadly turnarounds in the universe...may it happened due to collision of other planets of this particular system...we can assume how our solar system will look like if other planets get collided and only one remains thereby creating a big ring around Sun!!

@nintendolex From a scientific point of view, it's very unlikely: that planet is way too big and way too far from it's star to support life. Plus the star won't live for more that 1 billion years.

what if there are people on that planet thinking that they have the only planet that has life on it 0.0 probably a different species.........
