Did NASA ever claim that Planet X will pass the earths in 2012?
I thought I heard something like that on CNN or other source, did any thing like that ever come out?
And does a possible Pole Shift have any correlation with that?
The question realy is not whether it exists or can do any damage, it’s whether NASA ever claimed it to pass by in 2012
Other input also welcome
Thanks!

The possibility that we might be hit by an asteroid is not relevant to whether or not Nibiru exists. I do a lot of work on the asteroid impact danger, as you can see on my website . I also can’t promise that you will live through December 2012; you might be hit by a truck. But I can say with confidence that Nibiru doesn’t exist. Remember what Nibiru is said to be: a planet (or brown dwarf) with a 3600 year period, known to the ancient Sumerians, that will pass between the Earth and the Sun in 2012 and is already easily seen from the South Pole. That is flat-out false. If there were such an object, astronomers would know about it and have been tracking it for years. Thus “Nibiru” is a lie, independent of other things that might happen like a hit by an asteroid (or a truck).

planet x is a planet that is farther than pluto . it cant pass the earth because it so far. if it does, ther is a problem in the gravitational pull in our solar system
No. Why would they? Planet X doesn’t exist. If it did, i could go out and see it right now. It’s clear. Hold on a second…
… nope, there’s no Planet X.
I’ve no idea where this “pole shift” stuff comes from, what’s suppose to cause it, and what it might mean.
The magnetic pole of the Earth flips from time to time. There’s no evidence whatever that it harms life on Earth.
Planet X: term used at Flagstaff Observatory 1907-1930 as a way of referring to a presumed ninth planet, beyond Neptune, for which they were searching. The term has no other use in astronomy.
Pole shift: the Earth’s poles shift their positions in two ways. They rotate about the pole of the ecliptic over a period of 25,780 years due to precession. They also have a “wobble”, a drift in position on the Earth’s surface, discovered early in the 2th Century by a British scientist named Chandler, and so called the Chandler wobble. This involves a drift that is typically measured in a few dozen feet per years.
CNN: given the lack of scientific education among journalists, I would not be surprised at anything they claim.
Nothing, nothing, nothing whatsoever.
NASA never claimed anything like that. NASA does not even claim such a planet exists.
A magnetic pole reversal, if one is about to happen, would be totally about Earth’s core and have nothing at all to do with any other planet, including any hypothetical planet X. Anyway, a magnetic pole reversal would probably happen over a period of thousands of years and not all in one year.
NASA never endorsed the theory of Nibiru or a Planet X in 2012. In fact, they actually put together a webpage debunking the myth on their website http://www.nasa.gov. They never said anything about Nibiru being real— this is a team of thousands of highly trained astronomers, physicists, mathematicians, and engineers… they would never endorse a pseudo-scientific theory.
Pole shift was also not endorsed by NASA. NASA would never endorse such myths.
NASA? no.
CNN? On this topic, you can’t rely on ANY American media for the truth (well, you never can anyways).
Pole shift? no
NASA claims: The only Planet X that was ever talked about by NASA is a hypothetical planet well beyond Pluto and as yet undiscovered. It is implied by a statistical analysis of all these objects that we discover out in the Kuiper belt. The only thing we know about Planet X (the real one) is that its orbit does NOT come this way (otherwise, we would have noticed disruptions in the Kuiper belt).
Bonus answer: The charlatans have often claimed that NASA knows about their fictitious planet.
*Cough, cough* Just because one can’t see a planet doesn’t mean it exists……but anywho, back to the question.
I didn’t hear anything about that. I would assume that it is too far away, but then, of course, there are planets/plutons with irregular orbits.
the idea behind quackery is to make absurd claims that smart people automatically dismiss. You see, the dumb people latch onto it as if it was gospel, because 1) they don’t know any better 2) because they are dumb.
NASA doesn’t go around giving interviews on CNN about Doomsday. Certainly not about phoney planets invented by moron grifters like Lech Stickpin.
No. No scientific agency makes claims like that.
There will be no pole shift in 2012.
Planet X was invented by Nancy Lieder around 1994 or 1995 and was supposed to be here in mid-2003. She is probably certifiably insane from what I have seen, either that or an aggressive, deliberate and persistent liar.
If you had typed “2012″ into the search box, you would have found that questions about this have been asked more than 13,000 times. About once every two hours, sometimes even more frequently. The answer is always the same. It has nothing to do with science, it is anti-science and all lies.
No. Here is the official word on “Planet X” from a well known NASA scientist:
http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/ask-an-astrobiologist/question/?id=2744
Scientists don’t expect anything out of the ordinary to happen in the year 2012, or specifically on the date December 21, other than the solstice, which happens every year.
None of the “predicted” happenings for 2012 hold up under close scrutiny. “Planet X” and “Nibiru” simply don’t exist. The Mayan calendar ends a cycle, but there were no predictions of the end of the world. The Sun doesn’t line up with the galactic centre; it’s 6 degrees off. No asteroids or comets are actually predicted to hit Earth.
All of this stuff was put together by crackpots in order to promote their books and TV shows, and shamelessly promoted by the History Channel. Don’t take any of it seriously!
Crackpots or no crackpots do you really believe that Nasa would disclose such information even if they did have it, It would cause mass panic if they did. The only way we would find out anything is the way you found out (leakages, people who can no longer withhold the truth) Its up to to you to believe what you will and for time to tell. Fact is there is some significance of the year 2012 as its well documented throughout history we just have to wait and see how significant it will be.
Call me a crackpot but I believe in Nibiru and 2012, guess i’d rather look a fool on the day than die unprepared without trying to spread some sort of awareness. Oh and if it does turn out to be bullshit, may i say a BIG FUCK YOU!! to all you scaremongers for trying to turn people to christ.
