Newly discovered planet could destroy Earth any day now

A mysterious planet that wiped out life on Earth millions of years ago could do it again, according to a top space scientist.

And some believe the apocalyptic event could happen as early as this month.

Planet Nine — a new planet discovered at the edge of the solar system in January — has triggered comet showers that bomb the Earth’s surface, killing all life, says Daniel Whitmire, of the University of Louisiana.

The astrophysicist says the planet has a 20,000-year orbit around the sun and, at its closest to us, it knocks asteroids and comets toward Earth.

Let's see, we're going to be destroyed this month by Planet 9, a planet that's 10x the size of earth, but no one has found this mysterious, large planet yet.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Also, Melancholia film is about a Planet X collision plot.

The astronomers in the NY Post featured video said there could be a 9th planet affecting asteroids and comets beyond Pluto, giving reasons why they think this. I can believe this might be so. But a Nibiru planet to hit the earth this month? That’s baloney pseudo-science. The astronomers mentioned, said nothing about this.

I still enjoy ‘Forbdden Planet’ with a young Leslie Neilson.
In one scene Robbie the Robot recites a list of chemicals that are basically an alcoholic beverage.
