    Default Location of Krypton, Superman's destroyed home planet, "found"

    http://www.space.com/18348-neil-tyso...on-planet.html

    A prominent astrophysist named Neil DeGrasse Tyson has pinned down a real location for where Krypton, Superman's destroyed home planet, would be.

    According to Tyson, Krypton was located in the southern constellation of Corvus (the Crow), orbiting the red dwarf star LHS 2520, which is 27.1 light-years away from Earth. He did this exploration at the request of DC Comics, who decided to run a story about Superman's search for his home planet.

    Now, I would have to wonder: if Krypton is 27.1 light-years away from Earth, then how exactly did the baby Kal-El get here so fast, and if his rocket ship didn't travel at the speed of light, then what exactly prevented him from aging?
