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]
