He takes the information to his professor who recognizes that his young protege may have stumbled upon something that no one else has discovered. Calling upon some contacts at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA, his suspicion is confirmed. The object that Peter has discovered is going to have some serious effects upon the solar system as it passes by.
At the same time Peter Rockwell is making his discovery, a husband and wife team of molecular biology researchers on the east coast makes an astounding breakthrough that could possibly mean the eradication of all the infectious diseases that affect humans.
