By Mr. E Dr. Halledjian was eating a sandwich when someone burst through the door into the office. "I found extra-terrestrial life!" He blurted. "I was looking through my ridiculously high-powered telescope when I saw a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri! I saw it eclipse the star. Because of this, I was able to calculate its size, distance from its star, and its atmosphere! It's an Earth-sized planet, about 1 AU from Proxima Centauri, and its atmosphere has water, oxygen, and nitrogen! This is the biggest discovery ever!" "Actually," said Halledjian, "I really hope people don't believe your lies."
