You might even find you enjoy him, and while away the hours watching him (much as I do )

You're all wrong....the world has already ended. What you think you see is nothing more than a illusion perpetrated by the deluded thoughts of a giant slug that used to live in M31, and was interested in humans

Two Sun seen worldwide

Hmmm...locations worldwide are seeing two sun!
This one is from China,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGnL2d7wSo

However, it appear to be a mirage due to some atmospheric quark!
Still this event, though rare is seen more and more often.
sorry folk, will have to wait for Betelgeuse to put on a show.
Hope it will be in our lifetime.

That one in China, Tom, that was just an overly large hot air balloon that caught fire

No,it was something similar to seeing a mirage in the desert.
It was an optical illusion that resulted in an apparition next to the real one.
Still will look very outbof place!

Hi Amanda, welcome to IIS!

Amanda, off topic, but, were you included in the APC circle on Google Plus curated by Peter From?

If so, *waves*.

I can see why some people believe this niburu thing. But the people that believe it must be talking about that second sun they think shines out of their ---!

NASA searching for Nemesis star with WISE

Not sure if Niburu is a hoax or not, as there is a recent report that NASA is searching for a brown star, mass 5 -10x Jupiter that many reckon is orbiting our sun in a highly elliptical orbit.This brown star is Nemesis and orbiting it, is Niburu!
There is a recent article in Pravda on this,
