Excerpt:

Krypton is located 27. 1 light-years from Earth, in the southern constellation Corvus (The Crow), says Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium in New York City. The planet orbits the red dwarf star LHS 2520, which is cooler and smaller sized than our sunlight. Tyson performed the holy sleuthing at the request of DC Comics, which wished to run a tale about Superman's search for his residence planet. The new publication -- Action Comics Superman # 14, titled "Star Light, Star Bright"-- comes out Wednesday (Nov. 7). Tyson appears within its web pages, assisting the Man of Steel on his pursuit. "As a native of Metropolis, I was delighted to help Superman, who has done so much for my city over all these years," Tyson stated in a declaration.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
