In case anyone wonders, it’s a reference to this old comic book cover.

It was a Simpsons reference to a Halloween non-canon episode where Lisa accidentally creates an advanced microscopic civilization. In turn it was kinda a reference to the Twilight Zone episode where marooned astronauts discover a tiny civilization, and one goes mad with power.

My Little Pony - 1992 Edition

In the original story, Supes is told by his new supercomputer that ‘his son will die’. He just adopted Jimmy so he decides to get Jimmy to hate him so Olsen will reject Superman as his foster father. Turns out it meant that ‘his sun will die’. As in the artificial sun for an entire artificial solar system Supes made as a gift for some alien race. I don’t think we find out what became of the alien race while Supes was messing with Olsen.
 
Hey at least Twi isn’t at the ‘create entire planetary systems for fun’ level yet, right?

No it doesn’t. The moon is tidally locked, meaning only one side faces the Earth at any given time. The reason it appears to rotate is because that it orbits the Earth, with the sun hitting different parts of the moon depending on its location in orbit, thus giving us “phases” (new, full, crescent, etc.)
 
If you’re gonna bring logic into this, check your facts. After all, knowing is half the battle.

I hope Twilight’s parents hear about this. And when they do, they’d better give her a good spanking!

i belive she tries to teach spike the same lesson that Konrad Krez tried to give to the Emperor by destroing Nostramo, Konrad’s and his legion homeworld

It’s a shame that the “context explanation” in the comic stories themselves were very repetitive: Superman is actually acting in order to fool some villains - Superman is mind-controlled - It’s somebody else impersonating Superman. There.

Fun Silver Age Superman fact: editor Mort Weisinger would frequently (usually?) have an artist draw a cover around an idea that he thought would make readers want to get the issue just to find out how the heck the cover art could have ever happened, and then assign a writer to create a story around that supposedly-illogical (or impossible) cover. Keeping that in mind, these Superdickery covers make a lot more sense from a publishing standpoint.
