Back in elementary school the discovery of "Planet X" was all over the news. We talked about it in science class. There was a buzz, then it all went away never to be talked about again. It was still in my mind however when this whole Niribu thing came back. One recent video describes it as a 47000 mile diameter brown dwarf, an iron star, with billions of iron meteors buzzing about it along with 7 larger bodies orbiting it as well, coming up from underneath us. I think you people know and are not saying anything due to threats from our own feral govt. |

The Planet X story from 1983 was derived from the fact that there were a number of bright unidentified sources detected in the first infrared survey from space by the NASA IRAS telescope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRAS. Being unknown, they could have... Click here for more.

How close can we get observation/satellites to the Sun without risk of the object being destroyed by the heat/radiation? |
| |
We have sent spacecraft (Mariner 10, Messenger) as close to the Sun as the orbit of Mercury, where the strength of sunlight is ten times greater than at Earth. We could go even closer by using various kinds of sunshades. This is the approach of the planned NASA Solar Probe mission, a robotic spacecr... Click here for more.

Why do comets and asteroids get knocked into the inner solar system to begin with? How there is enough energy to send it hurling towards the sun, for it to only miss the Sun and then get shot back out to where it came from. What force is making it miss the Sun to only go back out to where it came from. PS: I'm a huge fan of yours thanks to the 2012hoax website. |

When something changes the orbit of a comet or asteroid in the outer solar system, there is not necessarily much change in its energy. Its orbital eccentricity could be changed either by a collision with another object, or a close pass of a more massive object, or even the perturbations due to anoth... Click here for more.

I was reading an article about the machine that was being sent up to change moon dust into oxygen. My question is: What will changing the atmosphere of the moon do to the magnetic pull on the earths ocean tides, and will it have an effect on the earths magma, and or inner core rotation? |
| |
I don't know about any plan to extract oxygen from lunar dust or soil. For the long term, we may need to extract oxygen, but it might be easier to get it from lunar polar ice deposits than from the soil. The purpose would be to use the oxygen for life support or rocket fuel, however, not to release ... Click here for more.

I've been watching this so called morning star. You should take the time to watch the sunrise and get back to me, because it's definitely not Venus. It is also getting bigger which I think means getting closer.
AND
Nibiru is shining brightly in the sky before dawn, and thousands of people are watching it. Yesterday I saw the video where it is visible with its 6 moons. You said its Venus, but Venus has no moons.
AND
Around 3-4 am my brothers I are seeing this bright star known as Nibiru. When Nibiru shows up on our doorstep and everyone is seeing this planet followed by several small planets, all hell is going to break loose. Our government wont tell us a thing, Russia already alerted their country, and everyone is preparing. When its in front of our Sun by September 28, we will have 60-70 hours of complete darkness. |
| |
All three of these questions refer to the planet Venus, which is brilliant and beautiful in the morning sky, rising several hours before dawn. I guess these questioners have never looked carefully at the at sky before, since Venus is visible and equally bright for a few months out of any year. While... Click here for more.

I live in north east england, we have had extremely strange weather this year, including flooding. There are rumours that a star or planet is in our solar system, and nearing earth. Could this account for the weather? Not just here, but all over the world, where weather is not normal. Dont believe global warming!! |
| |
You see evidence of strange weather related to global warming yet your conclusion is "don't believe global warming". Climate change is not a matter of belief, it is a fact. The basics of the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect have been known by atmospheric scientists for more than a century, and the r... Click here for more.

A theory about an extraterrestrial object (a comet or an asteroid) hitting the Earth and causing the Younger Dryas (YD) cooling period, and the extinction of North American megfauna, and the end of the Clovis culture, was the subject of another recent (April 2012) paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. However, in the last few years fewer scientists have been willing to side with the YD-impact idea. The new paper seems to counter these criticisms. Does this YD-impact theory now seem more plausible? |
| |
No, the YD impact theory (that a large comet disintegrated over North America about 13,000 years ago, generating thousands of impacts leading to extinctions, climate change, and the end of the Clovis culture) is not accepted. It suffers from multiple fatal objections when subjected to detailed analy... Click here for more.

If there were something out there in the sky (like a fairly large astereoid of some sort), would astronomers tell us about it? If so, would they be doing something to fix it? I have been hearing so much about asteroid and threats to Earth and it's really scaring me. |
| |
Of course you would be told. All asteroid and comet discoveries are posted within 24 hours on the Internet, and their orbits are updated regularly at the NASA JPL and University of Pisa websites http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/. Any object that has any possibility of c... Click here for more.

Moon is visible to naked eyes from the earth. Is the earth visible to naked eyes from moon? I know that light doesn't need any media to travel through - it travels even through vacuum. But for light to be seen/visible it needs a medium
like air, without which light is invisible. Moon is bereft of air/atmosphere. Hence my predicament. |
| |
Light does not need a medium like air to be seen. Seeing requires only the light-sensitive detectors in your eyes or any of many kinds of electronic detectors. If what you say were true, there would be no photos taken from or on the Moon; the famous images of Earth taken from Apollo 8 would not exis... Click here for more.

Are asteroids a threat to life on earth? |
| |
Asteroids and comets both strike Earth and are capable of great damage locally or, in the case of the large impactors, on a global scale. Impacts by an object more than 10 km across are the largest natural threats we know of, capable of causing a mass extinction. We all know the example of the impac... Click here for more.
