The Goblin - ties to Nibiru?

Distant dwarf planet called ‘The Goblin’ could point to Planet X

A new dwarf planet called The Goblin has been discovered orbiting the sun in the hinterland beyond Pluto, and its elongated path hints that the long-sought Planet X may be travelling through the outer reaches of the solar system as well.

This new dwarf planet, officially called 2015 TG387, is likely a ball of ice and is about 300 kilometres in diameter. It was first spotted by a team of astronomers using the Subaru telescope in Hawaii in October 2015, hence its Halloween-themed name. The International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center announced the discovery on 1 October 2018.

Its extremely elongated orbit means that at times it is 2300 times as far from the sun as Earth is, and it never gets closer to the sun than about twice as far out as Pluto. The dwarf planet moves so slowly that it took years to confirm its orbit with multiple observations.


Planet X: Scientists' 'Goblin' discovery opens door for Nibiru-based apocalypse theories

Planet X, also known as “Planet Nine” by scientists, is an as-yet-undiscovered “Super-Earth” that could have a mass up to 10 times that of Earth – which NASA says “is only theoretical at this point.”

Their theory is that Planet X would be beyond the newly discovered object and would have enough gravitational pull to cause the Goblin to have an irregular orbit around the sun. This would also explain orbit anomalies for our solar system’s large outer planets, Neptune and Uranus.

But some doomsday theorists see Planet X as their elusive planet Nibiru, a fictional heavenly body on a rogue path that they believe will bring about the demise of Earth. Nibiru has been at the center of many end-of-the-world predictions in recent years – which have all been 100 percent wrong, of course.

As the doomsayers get their new theories cranking, here are four things to know about Planet X/Nibiru.

NASA’s not having it

NASA tends to ignore doomsayers, but the talk about Nibiru has been pervasive enough to prompt two videos by NASA senior scientist David Morrison debunking its existence.

“There’s no credible evidence whatever for the existence of Nibiru,” he says in one of the videos. “It doesn’t take an astronomer to see there’s no Nibiru. … Please, get over it. Nibiru isn’t real.”

Nibiru's 'threat' goes back to the 1990s

A popular early prediction linking Nibiru to the apocalypse surfaced in 1995 and was linked to a Wisconsin woman, Nancy Lieder, who claimed she encountered aliens when she was a child. She was convinced they told her Nibiru would pass close to Earth in 2003 and stop our planet’s rotation for days, which would force the North and South Poles to move and the Earth’s crust to split open.

Nibiru-based apocalypse theories have been cropping up ever since – including a well-publicized recent one by doomsaying numerologist David Meade, who was wrong about the end of the world happening on Sept. 23, 2017, though he claims a follow-up end-times prediction of April 23, 2018, which was attributed to him, was actually fake news.

What's behind those theories?

Humanity has marveled over end-times prophecies, reading into the words of 16th century French seer Nostradamus, for example, and (mistakenly) theorizing that the Mayan calendar ended in 2012 because the ancient Mayans knew the world was ending then.

But Nibiru has been placed in an orbit with several theories.

Meade based his book "Planet X - The 2017 Arrival" on a complicated system of applying numerology to biblical passages.

In a 2016 video, Pastor Paul Begley likewise raises the question that a so-far-unconfirmed space object (whether or not it's called Nibiru) will strike Earth: "NASA says one thing and then NASA says something else when it's convenient, but I'm quoting Scripture. I'm telling you something is going to hit the Earth," he says.

Lieder incorporated Nibiru lore into her own tale of aliens, called Zetas, who implanted information in her head and revealed to her the world's imminent demise (or so she claimed).

Although many predictions say Nibiru would crash into Earth, author Terral Croft last year predicted the heavenly bodies would line up to create a "backside-alignment quake event" that would prompt catastrophic volcanoes and Earth's tectonic plates to smash into each other.

What can you do about Nibiru?

Nothing, because it isn't real.

Besides, author of the Nibiru-based books "The 12th Planet" and "The End of Days," Zecharia Sitchin (who died in 2010), disavowed the theories of a modern apocalypse due to the mysterious planet. He said Nibiru won't swing by Earth for several hundred years.
