Once the link is gone for good, she's stuck in whichever dimension she's in for the rest of her life.

However, she learns that the only reason why she's able to transport between the two is because of the rapidly-fading link created as a bridge once the star literally crashed her birthday party. It doesn't take Kira long to figure out that she's able to shift between this world and her regular life on her home planet, Thaer. After the impact, she wakes up in a world similar to her own, but instead of being surrounded by her friends at her birthday party, she ends up in the care of a mysterious - yet oddly beautiful - stranger. Well, unless, that is, we learn how to harness teleportation through black holes using the 'shadow of light.' Since we can't even convince politicians that climate change is real, I doubt we'll get to that point any time soon.īut it's that exact 'impossible' scenario in which seventeen-year-old Kira finds herself after a star crash lands in her local lake as she's taking a dip. Despite all of the advances being made in the past half-century, it's hard to tell when we're going to be able to tell if our planet is the only hospitable one in the known universe. Since the dawn of space exploration, humanity has been continually asking many questions: is there life out there? What lies in wait for us beyond the edges of our planet? We've been making significant strides in recent years with the myriad space probes and satellites soaring through the cosmos, but it still takes nine years for something travelling from Earth to make it to Pluto - the furthest planet in our solar system.
