Planet X

[Marco74]

Hey guys I'm just new here but I just got word that Planet X (Nibiru) is at
5h 53m 27s,-6 10' 56 to 58 in the southern skies.
Can somebody confirm that?
Thanks Mark

Do you know any astronomers, amatuers or otherwise who can look in the sothern skies at?

5h 53m 27s,-6 10' 56 to 58

Anyone can look at that location, though not until the early morning at this time of year. If you do you will see .... <drum roll> ... nothing!

The whole thing is a fake but it has more lives than a cat. BTW this location is right near one of the most looked-at objects in the sky, M42 the Great Orion Nebula. Apart from being a staple for visual astronomers it is probably photographed nearly daily by someone somewhere in the world. Certainly not the best spot to hide a planet!

You've been had. Planet X, Nibiru, doesn't exist. All that is there (close nearby, actually) is an infrared source...IRAS 05509-612. It's a star.

People get so easily taken in by this sort of nonsense and then you get people wanting to make out like it's some big conspiracy of silence on the part of astronomers and such...like we're not telling the public the truth. It's easy to get caught up in these things when you don't know anything, or very little about astronomy. How many people these days even bother to look up at the sky at night?? Not many.

Take this sort of nonsense for what it is....garbage.

Just to concur with David, it's right next to M42.

If it's in or around the neb', it's most likely a young star shrouded in dust. If not, it maybe a carbon star (a cool red giant with a lot of carbon in its spectra).

[renormalised]

Where that is, you might as well paint a huge target on any planet there and light it up with neon lights!!!!:):P

"Planet X is Here----->":):P

[Kevnool]

Here we go again

[Blue Skies]

We're all going to have to get used to it, interest in this is only going to increase as 2012 approaches, so best be prepared with some polite answers for these misguided people. I'm please to see some people can do that.

Just one more thing, a planet in our solar system would rotate around the sun. So if it was at those co-ordinates, it wouldn't be there the next day. It would either shift a small amount depending on its rotation.

[GrahamL]

Hope life treats you well girl :thumbsup:

Its been a while since youv'e last visited, wow 2012 is getting close isn't it ?... as you'll be getting a little busy in the next couple of years and won't have time .. I propose we all try and help you pick the next
year of approaching calamity .

Mine is 2020 as its such a good strong sounding year ..



any other suggestions ?

[renormalised]

Your typical Planet X devotee would try to counter this by saying..."Oh, but it's actually coming straight for us.". The straight and simple answer to that is "it's not a planet, or anything else from the solar system, then.". The reason being that there is no orbit which would allow for this type of geometry. A simple review of conic section would tell you this straight away. An object coming straight at us is traveling along a straight line path...not an orbit, which by definition must be a conic section (normally an ellipse, but in some cases a parabola or hyperbola if it's a long period comet).

If it's coming towards us along a straight line path, I would do either one of two things (depending on what I found out subsequently)....1. Roll out the welcome mat or 2. Go to DefCon 1:)

I had a bloke come in to work and ask me if I knew that a planet Called Nibiru is heading towards us to dominate and conquer the Earth and all the people on Earth.

He had no idea I was into astronomy, and I'd never seen him in the shop before, but he certainly picked the wrong person to share his news with (he wouldn't know I have been studying this Annunakian and Nibiru theory and false Religion for about 3 years) :lol:

After I explained (in friendly terms) that it is crap and if it did exist it would be seen by thousands of amateur astronomers, which it isn't, he continued to explain that us amateurs can't see it because it is coming in from the other side of the Sun so we can't see it.
So I asked him "if it's behind the Sun how do you know it's there?"

He said "I have to go, appointments and all that" and he quickly left :rofl:

:rolleyes:

[avandonk]

I can see Uranus from my back yard!

So I would hardly not be able to see this purported planet!

Man now i have to close my curtains forever :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[higginsdj]

Sorry but that youtube movie was posted by an idiot who claimed to have discovered Planet X in real time on google sky. Sorry but google sky is not a reliable picture of the night sky and it certainly isn't real time

[Benno18]

Hey mars was looking rather bigger than usual on the 24th of August wasnt it???
Got that one a few times this year

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl ::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rof l::rofl:

[acropolite]

Rofl, nearly fell off my chair...

[pgc hunter]

The following things are 100% geniune fakes:

Planet x
Nibiru
Nemesis
Drop Bears
Earth's second moon
Earth's second moon which is painted red to look like a big Mars
Mars appearing as big as Earth's moon
Planetary conjuctions destroying the world

[that_guy]

Hey! watch what your saying!! Drop bears are real! they killed my baby budgie last year! :P:P:P:D:D:D:screwy::screwy::rofl:: rofl::rofl:

[DavidU]

Oh no ! not again.

[Ric]

Party pooper :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[TrevorW]

No not the dreaded Planet X rising again

how'd Marco get past the moderators

[Barrykgerdes]

I agree except for "Drop Bears" The TV can't be wrong. Ask those girls who he dropped on :lol::question:

Baz

[Zaps]

Nitpick: The existence of "Nemesis" cannot be entirely discounted as yet.

But I had to Google "Drop Bears"!

[OzRob]

I don't know, this thread has given me a laugh. I loved the Uranus joke...:lol:

[mswhin63]

Will have to get the Pluto man (Who ever:confused2:) to de-list it as planet (Damn). another one bites the dust. :lol:

[jjjnettie]

Not faked....a very Marsy Moon from August 28th 2007, total Luna Eclipse.
The only year that the Mars hoax nearly came true.:P

[AstralTraveller]

This might work in a geocentric solar system but in a heliocentric system (we are all agreed that the Earth orbits the Sun - right?) it has to be heading straight for a moving target. So does it change course continuously to keep us in its crosshairs, and if so where does it get the energy to change direction? Or is it heading straight to where the Earth will be on that fateful day? In either case its apparent position will not be fixed but move due to parallax. Someone more mathematically orientated than I (Carl??) may wish to calculate the amount of parallax at various distances but it is obvious that the parallax will increase as it gets closer. It will also get brighter. So we will have an increasing bright object moving at an increasingly rapid rate across an increasingly large span of sky. That will present an increasingly big challenge to those nasty conspiritual governments who wish to keep us all in the dark about the horrible fate that awaits us.

[renormalised]

Like I said David....two choices.....1. roll out the welcome mate, or, 2. go to DefCon1:):P

Hi Marco & All,

First up, welcome to Ice in Space Marko and I hope your stay here is an enjoyable one.

To the rest of you, after having read this thread I've got to say you are a lot of appalling cynics. For a bunch of science-types, you have very fixed views and closed minds and am simply incredulous that you won't give this Nibiru thing a bit of air-time and consider its substantial and well-founded claims seriously.

... oh and Mike, we really do need a "sarcasm" font mate.


Best,

Les D

[CraigS]

The man who killed Pluto ...
'Mike Brown'', Caltech, discovered Eris ... I think he's got Titan in his scope at the moment ... at least he watched it occult a binary a couple of months ago ...
Should keep an eye out for this evil scientist !!

oh .. and Planet X !
:)

Cheers

[AstralTraveller]

Les, how could you say that! I'm will to consider any and all substantial and well-founded claims seriously. Oh, and you don't need a new font, the sarcasm oozes out of your post.





OK I'll bite. What is DefCon1???

[CraigS]

Armageddon !!!

....US Defences style ...

[renormalised]

Yep...."Arm a geddon outa here!!!!":):P

Seriously, it's their highest state of readiness for a war....basically everything is armed and ready to fire, all it needs is for Pres' to press the little red button.

[Kal]

You sure you don't mean DEFQON 1 (http://www.q-dance.com.au/q/events/Defqon1_Australia_Trailer/list_messages/10854)

:lol:

[northman]

Last week, I had to sympathetically explain to someone at work that this is all a big hoax. It was a tough gig, but I think I convinced them.

[renormalised]

No....I meant what I wrote:):P

Unless they start firing lasers at our feet and tell us to:):P

[lacad01]

Off topic but pertaining to ppl's ignorance & gullability, I was nearly in tears trying to explain to my cousin that the Crux constellation (Southern Cross) had not shifted from the northern skies and was only in the southern skies for the last two thousand or so years. Apparently she heard this nonsense when on a tour in Israel. In the end there was no point trying to reason with her in a logical way, sadly that was the truth for her. I'd love to know if anyone else has heard any weird stories about Crux like that :shrug:

[renormalised]

No, nothing like that. I can imagine that if something like that was connected to religion, people would fall for it.

[ballaratdragons]

The actual term stands for 'Defence Condition 1'

Sort of like 'Battle Stations' or 'RED ALERT' in Star Trek :lol:

[pgc hunter]

The big question is....were the girls "dopped on" on, or were they "dropping'd on"? If it was the latter and I was one of those girls, that would've messed up my day big time.

[that_guy]

Okay, guys.... youve gone a bit off topic... to the serious topic on hand... DROP BEARS ARE REAL!!!

[bartman]

Maybe its the Death Star ( Star Wars) incarnate......
Using a cloaking device ( Star Trek) to hide its arrival.....
The knowledge of its arrival is set in ancient stone carvings ( Stargate SG1 / Atlantis)............
We will survive or be saved by Ancients ( SG1, Atlantis,SGU) / United Federation of Planets ( Star Trek) / Luke Skywalker (Star Wars) ...................
