Synopsis
The Americans have a top-secret project - called the Black Planet - which they plan to send up 10,000 miles where it will rotate on its axis and, by means of its instruments, bring back a record of what is happening all over the world.
A new and strange element called Maggellarium is discovered. A piece the size of a pill is sometimes so heavy that a man cannot lift it from the floor. At other times it is so light that it climbs the wall and pushes through it to disappear at an angle. It is controlled by the position of Sirius, the Dog Star.
These discoveries unleash jealousy amongst the scientists, sabotage, international incidents, and United Nations intervention.
