		Eventually, Krypton was shown to have been an evolved version of Earth, older by eons and possessed of all the beneficial progress that implied (though the downside was the hint that Krypton exploded due mainly to old age).
		The Silver Age Superman was not alone in the survival of Krypton's destruction, being joined by his cousin Supergirl, the Phantom Zone criminals, Beppo the super-monkey, Krypto the superdog, and the entire population of the city of Kandor.
		Krypton itself was the main subject of the late 1980s World of Krypton miniseries (not to be confused with the 1979 miniseries of the same name).

	Encyclopedia: Krypton (planet)
		Originally, Krypton was only depicted at the moment of its destruction, the nature of life on Krypton being unaddressed and frankly irrelevant to Superman's adventures on contemporary Earth; the plain fact of his extra-terrestrial origin was considered enough to explain his exalted status.
		Eventually, Krypton was shown to have been a evolved version of Earth, older by eons and possessed of all the beneficial progress that implied (though the down-side was the hint that Krypton exploded due mainly to old age).
		However this early version of Krypton would be returned to after it was established that the Golden Age Superman of Earth-Two, whose background and Krypton of origin was more in tune with the original conception of the character, was a separate and distinct character from the contemporary Silver Age Superman of Earth-One.

		Category: Superman Superman, nicknamed The Man of Steel, is a fictional character and superhero who first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938 and eventually became a popular and well-known comic book icon.
		Krypton was approximately the size of Earth though it orbited a red sun which may be a red giant star called Rao.
		It was also soon established that Krypton still existed as a gaseous planet similar to Saturn, which formed because the remaining material was still of a mass sufficient to exert a gravitational force, thus aggregating to form a "planet".

	Glossary of Atmospheric Chemistry
		It is hoped that the reader will be tolerant of the inclusion in this Glossary of some terms which are obvious to the specialist in the area of their use, but are unclear to many others who work actively in other areas associated with atmospheric chemistry.
		In order to enhance the convenience of this Glossary to the user and in view of the specialized nature of many of the atmospheric chemistry terms, we have repeated here the definitions of many terms which appear in other IUPAC publications, rather than including only a reference to the IUPAC publication.
		It is the hope of this Commission that the Glossary will serve the Atmospheric Chemistry research community and lead to a more precise and uniform choice of common terms in the communication between atmospheric scientists around the world.

		There are six noble gasses: helium(), neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
		This group of elements were originally known as the inert gasses, but in the early 1960s it was found to be possible to combine krypton, xenon, and radon with fluorine to create compounds.
		Although helium, neon, and argon continue to resist, there is an increasing trend to refer to this group of gasses as noble rather than inert.
