Krypton exploded as a result of highly unstable geological conditions. 3.3.3 Further Post- Birthright Revisions.Jor-El told Louise McCallum, that Krypton has colors that humans couldn't even dream of.

It is the homeworld of Superman, but also to Supergirl, Krypto and other Kryptonians. It has changed completely over the years while retaining many elements from its past. Krypton appears, or is at least mentioned, in almost every version of the Superman mythos. The planet was destroyed late in its life due to internal pressures (In most versions). Krypton had many strange creatures (such as glass-eaters) and beautiful landscapes that simply don't exist on other worlds.

It featured two tracks that launched cars from zero to 100 mph down a straight track and then up into a 415′ tall pike. The once record-setting launched shuttle coaster opened in 1997.
