Big Picture Science: Skeptic Check: Nibiru! Again! - 13 Nov 2017

Hosted by Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley. Will your calendar entry for November 19th be your last? Some people say yes, predicting a catastrophic collision between Earth and planet Nibiru on that date and the end of the world. But it won’t happen, because this hypothesized rogue world doesn’t exist. Nibiru’s malevolent disruptions have been foretold many times, most dramatically in 2012 and three times so far in 2017. But this year NASA issued a rare public assurance that doomsday was not in the offing. Find out why the agency decided to speak out. Meanwhile, hoaxes and alarmist stories from the 19th century demonstrate that we have a long history of being susceptible to hooey. Also, an astronomer who doesn’t believe that Nibiru is hiding in the outer Solar System, but that Planet X is.
