A planet (from Ancient Greek αστήρ πλανήτης (astēr planētēs), meaning "wandering star") is a celestial body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals. The term planet is ancient, with ties to history, science, mythology, and religion. The planets were originally seen by many early cultures as divine, or as emissaries of deities. As scientific knowledge advanced, human perception of the planets changed, incorporating a number of disparate objects. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) officially adopted a resolution defining planets within the Solar System. This definition has been both praised and criticized, and remains disputed by some scientists since it excludes many objects of planetary mass based on where or what they orbit.
The planets were thought by Ptolemy to orbit the Earth in deferent and epicycle motions. Although the idea that the planets orbited the Sun had been suggested many times, it was not until the 17th century that this view was supported by evidence from the first telescopic astronomical observations, performed by Galileo Galilei. By careful analysis of the observation data, Johannes Kepler found the planets' orbits to be not circular, but elliptical. As observational tools improved, astronomers saw that, like Earth, the planets rotated around tilted axes, and some shared such features as ice caps and seasons. Since the dawn of the Space Age, close observation by probes has found that Earth and the other planets share characteristics such as volcanism, hurricanes, tectonics, and even hydrology.
Plot
Peter Sommer is the candidate of his party for the chancellor position. And with two more weeks to go until the elections the demographs tell that there is nothing to stop him from winning. But on the way home from one of the election events, his car breaks down. Men with covered faces kidnap Sommer in the presence of his staff including his wife and daughter. They want ten million Deutschmarks. The first handing over by the party leader and friend Moll fails. The rest of the story is divided into three parts: Sommer's, his wife's and Moll's view. Gathering information about and recalling the past, all develop different theories about what really is planned.

The universe it is so big
I feel dizzy when I think about it
My head swims I get giddy
Still I realize that long ago
It was so small I could have kept it
Underneath my little skirt
At least until the big bang happened
Every man, every woman
Sun planet the universe and me
When I'm excited and have to wait
My organs start to move, my lungs pump
Cells flow faster on tracks inside me
I demand to see myself from within
Be a cell for a day
Every man, every woman
Sun planet the universe and me
The planets and me we get along so well together
Gliding down imaginary rollercoaster-paths along the sky
I can do somersaults around jupiter if I feel like it
Nothing can stop a planet
But a planet can stop anything at all
Every man, every woman
Sun planet the universe and me
The universe it is so big
I feel dizzy when I think about it
My head swims I get giddy
Still I realize that long ago
It was so small I could have kept it
Underneath my little skirt
At least until the big bang happened
Every man, every woman
Sun planet the universe and me
When I'm excited and have to wait
My organs start to move, my lungs pump
Cells flow faster on tracks inside me
I demand to see myself from within
Be a cell for a day
Every man, every woman
Sun planet the universe and me
The planets and me we get along so well together
Gliding down imaginary rollercoaster-paths along the sky
I can do somersaults around Jupiter if I feel like it
Nothing can stop a planet
But a planet can stop anything at all
Every man, every woman
A brand new hope discovered through my telescope
I found you there hiding by the Little Bear
Alone in space - What's it like there in your place
It's easy to see you could use some company
The sky don't look the same
The stars are far too lame
To draw my attention away from the one
That caught my eye today
And I could teleport myself to you
If your planet is big enough for two
De- and rematerialise for you
If your planet is big enough for two
If your planet is big enough for two
I can't stay here
In this town it's all too clear
I'd like to be the one to solve your mystery
I'm only reaching out
That's what it's all about
The people here only shout
And it's something I could do without
So I would teleport myself to you
If your planet is big enough for two
De- and rematerialise for you
If your planet is big enough for two
