Stories about the fictional planet Nibiru and predictions of doomsday in December 2012 have blossomed on the Internet. There are more than 175 books listed on Amazon.com dealing with the 2012 doomsday. As this hoax spreads, many more disaster scenarios are being suggested. The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. Nibiru is a name in Babylonian astrology sometimes associated with the god Marduk. NASA Infrared Astronomy Satellite, which carried out a sky survey for 10 months in 1983, discovered many infrared sources, but none of them was Nibiru or Planet X or any other objects in the outer solar system. Planet X is an oxymoron when applied to a real object. The term has been used by astronomers over the past century for a possible or suspected object. Once the object is found, it is given a real name, as was done with Pluto and Eris, both of which were at some time referred to as Planet X. If a new object turns out to be not real, or not a planet, then you wont hear about it again. If it is real, it is not called Planet X. Also, the great majority of the photos and videos on the Internet are of some feature near the Sun (apparently supporting the claim that Nibiru has been hiding behind the Sun for the past several years.) These are actually false images of the Sun caused by internal reflections in the lens, often called lens flare. You can identify them easily by the fact that they appear diametrically opposite the real solar image, as if reflected across the center of the image. This is especially obvious in videos, where as the camera moves, the false image dances about always exactly opposite the real image. Similar lens flare is a source of many UFO photos taken at night with strong light sources such as streetlights in the frame.
And what about blank rectangle in Orion in Google Sky, which is a presentation of images from the Sloan Digital Survey? The sciences said that this cant be a hiding place for Nibiru, since it is a part of the sky that could be seen from almost everywhere on the Earth in the winter of 2007-08 when much of the talk about Nibiru began. That would contradict the claims that Nibiru was hiding behind the Sun or that it could be seen only from the southern hemisphere. A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. It has never happened and never will. There are slow movements of the continents, but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles. However, many of the disaster websites pull a bait-and-shift to fool people. They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as science know, such a magnetic reversal doesnt cause any harm to life on Earth. A magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia, anyway. NASA also said that there is no planet alignment in 2012 or any other time in the next several decades. Many of them who are telling you that the December 2012 will be the last day on the Earth, thinks that we are all going to die due to a meteor hitting earth. This is not true! The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Space guard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. On the NASA NEO Program Office website (www.neo.jpl.nasa.gov) you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.
Many of them claims also that the Mayan calendar say the world will end in 2012. I really can't believe in that story! Calendars exist for keeping track of the passage of time, not for predicting the future. The Mayan astronomers were clever, and they developed a very complex calendar. Ancient calendars are interesting to historians, but of they cannot match the ability we have today to keep track of time, or the precision of the calendars currently in use. The main point, however, is that calendars, whether contemporary or ancient, cannot predict the future of our planet or warn of things to happen on a specific date such as 2012. Many websites are selling books and tapes about Nibiru or even survival kits. It is all very sad, that with so many real issues, such as global warming and financial collapse, people are being taken in by these lies. You should think about it and you should stop spending you money on the false books and tapes about Nibiru or even on the survival kits because December 2012 will be the same day as any other and THE WORLD WILL NOT END!
