The Star (Illustrated) H G Wells

First published in the magazine The Graphic, December 1897. In January (about 1900, presumably), the people of Earth awaken to the notion that a strange luminous object has erupted, into the Solar System, after disturbing the normal orbit of the planet Neptune. Indeed, such an object is a luminous celestial body, whose luminosity is distinguishable on the sky about the constellation of Leo.
