constellation that suddenly became 600,000 times more luminous than our
sun, temporarily making it the brightest star in our Milky Way galaxy in
January 2002. The mysterious star, thought then to be the mythical
Planet X, has long since faded back to obscurity.

isn't sure mystery planet Nibiru even exists but that hasn't stopped
conspiracy theorists linking it to biblical end time prophecies. Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson is the latest religious theorist to claim that the alignment of Nibiru – also called Planet Nine or Planet X – is a prophetical precursor to the apocalypse.
He claims there are codes deep inside the Old Testament and that the words 'star Nibiru' can be found alongside 'Messiah.'
Conspiracy
theorists like Glazerson believe the addition of another planet in our
solar system could be a sign of the world coming to an end. 'This
is a message to the entire world. Nibiru is to warn the world to repent.
Not only Israel but also the world has to repent,' he said.
NASA
has been shy to confirm the existence of Planet Nine but now it seems
even the space agency is finding the evidence hard to ignore. In its most recent update on the intriguing question, NASA said there was 'a possible 'Planet Nine' on the distant edges of our solar system.
