2012 doomsday scenarios sometimes depict the Earth as being hit by another planet.
For detailed information, see: 2012
Nibiru is a fictional planet that, according to some doomsday predictors, was supposed to have crashed into Earth in 2012 and cause the end of the world . It is one of many hoaxes related to the 2012 pop culture hysteria phenomenon. Scientists dismissed the speculation as irrational and said that if such a planet existed, and was headed on a collision course with Earth , it would have been seen already.
Scientists call predictions about supposed future events "bunk".[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
