One evening, Tintin notices a growing light amongst the stars – a meteorite heading towards Earth. A fragment of this space rock lands close to the North Pole. Tintin and Captain Haddock set forth on a voyage of scientific research to find this mineral–rich shooting star, which possesses some strange extraterrestrial properties that take Tintin by surprise. But an even bigger problem faces Tintin when unscrupulous forces head in the same direction!
