"Zyra" revealed

the origin of the name "Zyra"

  

The name “Zyra” comes from a classic sci fi movie circa 1951 called When Worlds Collide.


In the story, a huge planet, named Bellus by the worlds astronomers, and a smaller satellite planet they called Zyra, are found to be on a collision course with the Earth.  In a desperate bid to escape the impending disaster, a handful of people work to build a rocketship in a flurry of round the clock preparation, back biting and  heroic sacrifice.


Finally, as the gravitational pull of the enormous Bellus is tearing the Earth apart, the hopeful ship shoots down a giant ski jump and launches into orbit.

Just in the nick of time!


Fortunately, the planet Zyra is left untouched by the celestial disaster and after a short flight, seated comfortably in their wicker chairs, the pioneers land on its surface. 


They emerge from the shuttle to a glorious landscape festooned with lovely space flowers and, happily, an atmosphere compatible for life and so the proliferation of the human species is assured.


It’s a wonderful new day on the planet Zyra!


Compelling, isn’t it? I just love these movies-


Mostly I liked the name.
