What's with the poor "Habitable Zone" being "So-Called"? That makes it sound like it's not the correct name for it
Actually it's a way of specifying that it is the correct and recognised name for it, rather than a phrase a journo has come up with for the purposes of this article. I agree that it can be read as being dismissive of the term, as well.
What they forget is that any light from Krypton's system is so many light years away that we would effectively be seeing Superman's homeworld *before* it was destroyed. NDGT didn't think of this?
Simultaneity is relative - if the light we're reveiving is from before Krypton's destruction, then there is a reference frame (albeit one we're unlikely to get ourselves in) in which an observer would perceive that those events are happening at the same time as our present on Earth.

I will now make (finding) you my hobby. Ask around (and) you will find out that I like to work on my hobbies.
Ah, I see this guy's plan. He waits until someone starts asking around, and that's the guy.
Okay, half of that is relevant
And the part that describes the exact feature that has caused this all to end up in court isn't?
*google* *oggle* Sorry Margaret, you're now #2.
How can i make a first post
Well, you didn't, so why worry?
