2012 Conspiracies..

If you want it to be a planet, then it is a planet...regardless of what a bunch of scientists may say. What is the saying...beauty is in your/my eye?

I haven't heard the latest but I remember it still being a planet but reclassified as a dwarf planet. Or was it an ice giant? I don't know. I think they added two more dwarf planets to our Solar System too. You'd think that with the ability of Hubble to "see" objects 50-60 trillion miles away they could have better images of our "local" planets only a few billion miles away.

I don't know about two, but there is at least one new one:

10th Planet Discovered - NASA Science

EDIT: I guess that article is somewhat old, because I found another in which the planet is called Eris. However, it is uncertain if science will continue to consider it a planet, because they now say that it is about the same size as Pluto.

Long elliptical orbit...I hope it's not wormwood.

I think you guys are both right. Eris and Nibiru were added. And there's a third--Ceres.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft is due to reach Ceres, a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt, in February 2015, so it could become the first spacecraft to visit a dwarf planet, if Dawn reaches Ceres before New Horizons reaches Pluto.

Ceres is an asteroid discovered in 1801. As far as I know, Nibiru is only the name of a planet in a game called Nibiru Age Of Secrets.

EDIT: I Googled and found that Nibiru is a name given to a theoretical planet that is thought by some to be on a collision course with Earth...AKA Wormwood.

I don't want to brag, but I've survived through the end of days about three times now. 2012, bring it! :)

You may quite possibly survive until the true end of days, but despite how you may feel about it, no one has done so yet.

Ceres was upgraded to a dwarf planet. You're right--No Nibiru.
