Quoting: Phat DaddyThe idea of a new planet being discovered in our Solar System is pretty exciting. Even more so because of the many theories about "planet-x" or "Nibiru" being associated with space aliens and the doomsday prophecies of 2012. Scientists at places like NASA and famous observatories have deflected inquiries about the discovery for a few years now, mainly because they feared being associated with these "fringe" theories. But like it or not -- it has happened. Well... According to a team of Spanish artronomers who call themselves the StarViewer Team. [link to coupmedia.org] This is a hoax. There is no team of Spanish astronomers called Starview. The hoax centers around an object the hoax calls G1.9 which is suppose to be Nibiru. The correct designation is G1.9+0.3 a supernova remnant discovered in 1984 and it is some 25,000 light years away. Green, D. A.; Gull, S. F., Two new young galactic supernova remnants, Nature, vol. 312, Dec. 6, 1984, p. 527-529 [link to chandra.harvard.edu] Stephen P. Reynolds et al. The Astrophysical Journal, 680: L41–L44, 2008, THE YOUNGEST GALACTIC SUPERNOVA REMNANT: G1.9+0.3 Gliese 581 is a different object and also known as HO Libra. It is a BY Draconis type variable at a distance of 20 light years. It is known to have 6 planets. [link to exoplanet.eu] Neither of these objects are Nibiru. No fairer destiny could be allotted to any physical theory, than that it should of itself point out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in which it lives on as a limiting case. - Albert Einstein |
