The Nibiru Hoax and a Purported Collision with Christmas

-- | December 16, 2015

Question: I was wondering people are saying nibiru is going to hit earth before Christmas? Is this true and is nibiru real? — Josephine

Answer: I have posted several comments about Nibiru, which is a mythical “hidden” planet that purports to potentially wreak havoc on civilization. See my Hoazes in Astronomy and The Planet Niburu Hoax posts for further information. Nibiru does not exist and, no, it will not be an interstellar Grinch and collide with the Earth this month and ruin Christmas.
