== Notes ==
* On Earth-Two, Krypton was located in the system of the star-sun Negus-12, though the actual Golden Age stories never specified any location. The Adventures of Superman radio show had Krypton "situated on the other side of the Sun" from Earth, putting Krypton in the Sol system, and some early stories followed this example. Krypton then began to move further and further from Earth as real-life space travel gradually became a reality. In 1960, Superman #136 calculates a distance of 0.317 light-years between Earth and Krypton, putting the planet outside the Solar System but far closer than the nearest stars. In the 1978 movie Superman, it is placed in the Xeno Galaxy. Earth-One and New Earth establish the planet's sun as Rao. The latter continuity also places it in the Andromeda Galaxy.
* Green Lanterns #28 revealed that 10 billion years ago Prime Earth Krypton sent out its first colonization mission. It is unknown if this reflects the age of New Earth Krypton.
