[quote:Anonymous Coward 218281:MV8xMTM1MzAxXzE4MjczNjEzX0MyNUVEOUE2] [quote:Shelly] I've heard that this has happened in the past. Stripping Mars and the moon of most of their atmospheres. Maybe Earth too? I don't know if it was the Kolbrin or possibly Immanuel Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision" where it was said that men would "lose their breath" when it passed close by. They also theorize that our atmosphere used to be denser and that's why large dinosaurs, pterosaurs, etc. lived in our past. They don't believe these giant creatures could survive our current atmosphere, let alone get off the ground in the case of the large pterosaurs. [/quote] The moon is too small to have enough gravity to have ever held onto an atmosphere. Mars doesn't have a magnetic field because it doesn't have a liquid core. Therefore, it's atmosphere has been stripped over eons by the solar wind. On earth, our magnetic field shields the atmosphere from being stripped away by the charged particles from the sun. There simply is no evidence whatsoever that px exists, much less has ever made a trip through the inner solar system. The orbits of the inner planets have way too little eccentricity to have ever been majorly disturbed. Velikovsky has been proven wrong many times over. http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/vdtopten.html [/quote]

Dear Friends:
Just read this story on National Geographic about the discovery of a planet that is flying so close to its host that it strips its atmosphere. Researchers on Planet X claim it is a fly-by and also that it is comet-like, similarly to this planet.
If Planet X is real (which I cannot confirm) this would be something to consider i.e. atmospheric stripping of our planet .
