Planet X Explained – Why it doesn’t matter that much

After my popular article 2012 Explained – Why it shouldn’t be feared, I thought I would talk about a related issue.  I also received a lot of requests by emails to talk about Planet X, so here it is: Planet X Explained – Why it doesn’t matter that much.


What is Planet X?

PlanetFirst of all, Planet X or Nibiru as some like to call it is a large hypothetical planet beyond Neptune. Why hypothetical? Because no one ever saw or proved the existence of Planet X. That’s also where the name X comes from; to represent the unknown. A lot of attempts were made to prove the existence of the planet, even by the NASA, but without success. Here’s the origin of the search for Planet X from Wikipedia:

At the beginning of the 20th century, many astronomers speculated about the existence of a planet beyond Neptune. The discovery of Neptune resulted from calculations of the mathematicians John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier to explain discrepancies between the calculated and observed orbits of Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter.

After the discovery of Neptune, however there still were some slight discrepancies in those orbits, and also in the orbit of Neptune itself. These were taken to indicate the existence of yet another planet orbiting beyond Neptune.

Since then, there’s been a lot of research done on the discrepancies in those orbits and many astronomers consider Lowell’s Planet X hypothesis to be over. This is mostly because there’s no discrepancies in the space probes (Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2) trajectories that could be attributed to the gravitational pull of a large unknown object (Planet X). Which, in short, means there’s not much chance for a Planet X to exist.

Apparently, from popular beliefs, Planet X is on a 3,600 years orbit around the sun and is due for a passage really soon near Earth.

What about Planet X/Nibiru and the “end of the world” in 2012?

One more prophecy is adding up to the already overloaded stack of prophecies for 2012. It is going to be a really bad year if we believe in all that nonsense. It’s not really clear what role Planet X is going to play in 2012. Some say it’s due for a passage in 2012 and its passage would be devastating for earth because its magnetic force would stop the Earth rotating for several days. That would eventually cause earthquakes, volcanoes, Tsunamis and hurricanes. That would also cause the Earth’s magnetic poles to shift. You all understand that would eliminate almost every sort of life on this planet. Scary? Well not really because it’s not the first time Planet X is associated with some sort of prophecy. The last one was in 2003. Nibiru was supposed to pass near earth sometime in June 2003 causing the same catastrophes. As you all imagine it never happened because we’re still there and the north is still pointing north. The other reason why it’s not scary is because there’s no evidence for planet X to exist.

So you say it doesn’t exist right?

I hate saying yes or no. Here’s what I think about it:

Dr. John Murray of the UK’s Open University says he might have found what could be Planet X. The size of the planet would be between 1 and 10 times the size of Jupiter and it could possibly be a Brown Dwarf. This is also the conclusion of most of the Planet X theorists. The only problem is that Dr. John Murray give it an orbit of 6 million years. It’s quite far from the 3600 years Planet X theorists predict.There’s also something about the IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) that surveyed the sky in 1982. Gerry Neugebauer, chief IRAS scientist, said:

“A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope. All I can tell you is that we don’t know what it is”.

What to believe? NASA says they haven’t any proof of it, but says it’s possible. That let me believe that there’s a possibility for another planet in our solar system. I just don’t buy the end of the world prophecy related to Planet X. I’m going with that conclusion: Nibiru might exist but we don’t have much proof of it. I say we have to stay receptive to the signs of another planet in our solar system but there’s no way Planet X will change our world in 2012. Being on such a big orbit, if it’s due to pass near earth in 2012, I’m pretty sure we would be able to spot it because we’re only 4 years away. Also, it didn’t pass in 2003 as predicted.

I made this article kind of short even if there’s ton of information about Planet X because it all come to the same thing: NASA vs. Average Joe and it might exist but no one’s sure.

So don’t worry too much about Planet X: It might exist but it doesn’t matter that much for you and me.

    Read and surfed alot about this planet X theory, one proof of its existence was the two suns theory, are people that stupid to think if they take a picture of the sun they will see planet x in the background. Do they not know if you take a picture of any bright object you get a reflection from the source. sure if you take a picture of a light bulb you get the same effect unless thats acctually planet x in my living room lol.
    Let me see it with my own two eyes in the sky and i will believe!!!!!!!!!!

    Well. If it passed in 2003, Dont you think would have seen it? ROFL. and 4 years from now, From 3,600 years.. thats pretty much 0.11% from 100%, So your right, We probabbly would spot it, if its 1-10 times the size of juipter. So.. Im guessing when I wake up on 2012, I can just have a normal day and laugh at the Mayans and the people who belive in this stuff. LOL Anyways, Thanks for the information. Im a 14 year old kid wondering if Im gonna die in 3 years. lol. Thanks again. See you in 2013 ;P (Ps. watch out, world might end in 2010 because of a…….giant alein!——–Hahahahah jokes jokes making fun of them). Thanks,

    Well, if I see a frigin huge comet/meteor coming right towards Earth, I just tell my family from other countrys and this one I'm in, to get to the nearest airport, fly over to U.S.A or drive to there or take a boat,in one day or two, you're there, and take a NASA space ship just like that and BOOM we're outta here, and I'll bring some innocent people……one or two of my enemies, and by innocent I mean nice, and pour and stuff like that…..see,I already have it all PLANNED out……and if all that fails, I just wait a few seconds before it hits us, I kill my self, and wait for my other life :) if you know what I mean :)

    planet X was said to be in our solar system by the sumerians 1 of the first written recorded civilizations

    In 1976 Zecharia Sitchin published The Twelfth Planet, which supplied an array of evidence to support the assertion that the earth had been visited by ancient alien astronauts in its past. Sitchin based his conclusions on the written records of Sumer, the sudden civilization that sprang up virtually overnight in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley of modern Iraq. Historians cant begin to plausibly explain how Sumerians were transformed from Stone Age farmers to extremely sophisticated city dwellers almost instantly around 5,000 years ago. The mystery is so deep and so profound, few historians dare attempt to deal with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oa5r0nQ8ms&fe

    Wow, some people are retards…soo many of you will believe anything people say, or anything thats written down somewhere. Like a bible or fricken youtube videos…..dont you think that NASA is just a LITTLE bit more credible than a book that has bin changed millions of times over the years, and television that can tell you anything you want to hear with absolutly no evidence?
    On Jan,1/2000 did Y2K happen like everyone said? NO!!! it was just a hoax to get your money just like 2012…and guess what, ITS WORKING!!! like seriously, get real… its called reality and anyone who doesnt live in reality are retards.

    This 2012 end of the world Planet -X hype is just that, all hype. Ben Tremblay is correct , the hype generates public interest and fear and acts as a marketing tool for the sale of 2012 doomsday books and videos. The wonderful thing about this 2012 doomsday racket revolves around all the conflicting theories on how Planet-X will inflict mass death and destruction on the Earth. The Planet-X doomsday profitiers have two years to promote their theory, then produce a product that refutes somebody elses theory so they can reap the profits over and over again until December 22, 2012 the day when we all awake to find that nothing has happened and all is forgotten. You can count on another thing after December 22, 2012, the profitiers of doom will be hard at work concocting their next worldly catastrophy and the suckers will continue to provide these folks with a good living, thats for sure.
    The not so wonderful thing that was the crux of Ben Tremblay article is the mental and emotional effect these scare tactics have on the youth. It is bad enough that kids are victims of cultural crud, sex, violence and death.

      No one knows.

      Actually, there's a whole universe out beyond it, so probably. :)

      Happily no, there are other planets called the 'dwarf planets' that orbit around the sun, and they aren't called real planets.

      P.S – Pluto is a dwarf planet too.

    The whole Nibiru 2012 can be debunked with one thing it's creator Zachira Sitchin did not predict it for 2012 but for 2090 as for Planet X that is the brain child of Nancy Leider who's 2003 prediction of this planet's arrival was in 2003 and it didn't come so why should anyone believe her when she says it will come in 2012. Just because some idiots on Youtube made videos about it I THINK NOT.

      Wrong. Those who base their notion of non-existence only upon Sitchin's claims are ignoring the reality of all of the other reports, all throughout history, and even by our own NASA, that it *does* exist. Try doing some research and try keeping an open mind so as not to get caught up in the disinformation.

      Yes.
      In case you haven't realized, this has happened with millions of species over time, since the beginning of time. It just happens to be that those 2 were covered by the media one day and you just happened to hear the news report. Things like this happen all the time.

    All this theories are sure used by governments to socially control people, in fact they put "bread croms" in their servers for hackers to pick them up, I know some hackers that claim saw clues of the 2012.

    The truth is there is a branch that can be or not be goverment, that probably is linked with Masonry that has been "leaking" information, truthful information to different media to make people aware of possibly existence of aliens, this goes a long way back with Men in Black movies and couple of recent ones.

    My point if aliens do make contact in 2012, will you take alright or panic out?

    The reason why they called it planet x is because X is the roman numeral for 10 , and they regarded it as the 10th planet , this blog was created to pull the wool over your eyes , PLANET X , ELENIN , NIBURU , HERCOBULUS or whatever you want to call it is real , and was written about by many ancient civilizations , the governments of this world are trying to keep it hush hush , as to not spread worldwide panic , google anyone of the above names , and you will got loads of information , sites like this were started to purely get people uninterested in the subject , read the book called SLAVE SPECIES OF GOD by MICHAEL TELLINGER ,dont be fooled everyone , the evidence is mounting all around us , NIBURU entered our ecliptic in march this year , and shortly there after we had the earthquake in Japan , as it gets closer to earth , there will be more and more earthquakes and vocanoes , why do you think there are so many birds and fish dying from unknown and mysterious cause , it because of Niburu and the magnetic pull it startinm to have on the earth ………………..look at this link of natural disasters that have occurred just this year ………. .http://www.jesusblogspot.com/2011/01/natural-disasters-2011-recap-of-first.html ………..DONT LET BLOGS LIKE THIS FOOL YOU , DARK DAYS AHEAD !!!!
