In July 1994

Almost thirty years ago, something happened that could have changed the human perception of our world and our position in the universe forever - an event so powerful and unimaginable that it threatened to shake the very foundations of our knowledge, our history and our future.

That summer month, a gigantic object, larger than the Earth, suddenly became visible. It suddenly appeared near the planet Jupiter, as if it had been hiding in the shadows of the cosmos until then. This object - which I can only refer to as the "Black World" - appears in our reality like a predator moving from the darkness of night into the bright lights of an alien realm.
